Taipei, July 12 (CNA) Negotiations on increasing the number of direct flights across the Taiwan Strait have been postponed as China is having difficulty allocating space for such flights at the airports travel agents free money in its major cities, the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) said Thursday.
China needs to allow more civil air traffic so that both sides can increase the number of direct cross-strait flights, said CAA Director-General Yin Chen-pong after aviation talks between the two sides on July 11 in Taiyuan, China.

Washington, DC (FDD, July 31, 2012) – The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) applauds Congress for reaching bipartisan consensus travel agents free money in support of legislation that significantly increases pressure on Iran over its illicit nuclear activities and targets the Iranian and Syrian regimes for their human rights abuses.
The Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act is a major upgrade to the current travel agents free money sanctions regime which closes significant travel agents free money loopholes in current law and tightens U.S. sanctions in key areas which FDD has extensively researched, and championed, including measures dealing with energy, shipping, banking, insurance, travel agents free money nonproliferation, and human rights abuses in both Iran and Syria.
"Chairman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Chairman Tim Johnson (D-SD), and the other members of Congress whose work has been critical to this bill, should be applauded for their tireless efforts in responding to the gravity of the Iranian regime's travel agents free money threat to America, travel agents free money to our allies such as Israel, and to the repression of the Iranian and Syrian peoples. This legislation continues Congress' bipartisan tradition of developing tough sanctions laws that are dramatically reducing the Iranian regime's oil revenues and imposing significant economic costs on a regime that refuses to compromise over its nuclear weapons program, and end its campaign of terror," said Mark Dubowitz, executive director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and an Iran sanctions expert.
"But Iranian nuclear physics travel agents free money is beating Western economic pressure and diplomacy, travel agents free money as the centrifuges keep spinning, and the Iranian regime continues its campaign of murder abroad and at home. While this bill is an important step towards economic warfare travel agents free money against the Iranian regime, much more needs to be done. Iran's leaders need to be persuaded that the U.S. is committed to using every instrument of state power to counter the Iranian threat."
"Sanctions have led to a sharp drop in Iranian oil revenues, and have seriously damaged Iran's economy, but they have not accomplished the goal for which they were designed. Sanctions are as much about pyschology as legalities. Looming over the sanctions debate is Iranian travel agents free money perception of American intent. Sanctions so far have not created enough fear to persuade the Iranian regime that the U.S. is truly committed travel agents free money to stopping the regime's pursuit of nuclear travel agents free money weapons, terrorist activities and human rights abuses."
