英国交通部(Department of Transport)昨日表示，针对欧洲航空旅客的`限制将进一步放宽，包括那些使用英国机场的乘客。
Restrictions on air travellers in Europe, including those using UK airports, are to be further relaxed, UK’s Department of Transport said yesterday.
根据新规定，美国和加拿大实施的有关乘客携带液体物品登机的规定，也将在欧洲实施，即允许乘客携带饮料和化妆品通过安检登机，但数量有所限制，并且须放在透明胶袋内。新规定将于周一生效。
Under new rules planned to come into effect from Monday, similar rules on the transport of liquids will apply in Europe as in the US and Canada, with passengers allowed to carry drinks and toiletries through security checks in limited quantities and in clear plastic bags.
此前，欧盟(EU)与美国交通运输安全官员经过讨论决定，在国际恐怖主义继续对交通运输业构成威胁的情况下，将采取措施进一步统一航空安全标准。
The move follows discussions between European Union and US transport security officials that have resulted in moves towards greater harmonisation of standards of airline security amid a continuing threat to the transport sector from international terrorism.
但英国交通部昨晚表示，据其所知，没有任何安全计划表明英国准备效仿法国的做法。在法国，戴高乐机场(Charles de Gaulle airport)的70余名穆斯林工人(行李工和飞机保洁工)因可能对乘客构成威胁，被取消了安全通行证。
However, the DoT said last night that it knew of no security plans to suggest Britain was about to follow the example of France, where over 70 Muslim workers – baggage handlers and aircraft cleaners – have been stripped of their security clearance for allegedly posing a risk to passengers at Charles de Gaulle airport.
