It similarly seeks to make an addition to the regulation. I am unable to accept it on technical legal drafting grounds as presented by the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel which is part of the Attorney General's office. It is, I am told, sufficiently clear from the recital in EU Regulation No. 598 that the balanced approach is a concept developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization, ICAO. As the regulation has direct effect from a technical drafting perspective, it is not required to be repeated in the Bill.
