Sõna continental shelf tõlge inglise-eesti

mandrilavaVenemaa taotleb oma merealade laiendamist üle kogu oma mandrilava. Russia is claiming the expansion of its maritime zone to include its entire continental shelf. Kreeka mandrilava on ühtlasi Euroopa mandrilava ja ma ei näe Euroopa huvi kaitsta enda suveräänseid õigusi selles piirkonnas. The Greek continental shelf is also part of the European continental shelf and I see no concern on the part of Europe in protecting its sovereign rights in the area. Euroopa mandrilava madalates vetes ning Mehhiko lahes puurimise ohud ei ole võrreldavad. There is no comparison between the risks of drilling in the shallow waters of the European continental shelf and the waters in the Gulf of Mexico.
