Does senate really have to declare every terrorist organisation ans terrorist? Couldn't this be achieved through directive issued by interiors ministry and done so much more efficiently...

It used to be that way.
But someone *cough* amended the law to revert it to this inefficient manner.

Yeah, Grrrr. Here is an idea, why don't you attach a semi-rider reverting to the old method in the above bill.
A third amendment would be better, IMO. I don't want this failing because of the reversal. We should outlaw the Freedom Whigs first, then take care of that.

Well it would give it more chance in passing than on it's own. If it fails you can always submit it again with the rider taken out.

The Senate of Aurentina,
Understanding that the first Senate Salaries Act doesn't have an automatic update mechanism to prevent loss in Purchasing Power.
Acknowledging that an automatic mechanism is needed to prevent a drop in purchasing power from happening.
Acknowledging that the First Amendement to the Senate Salaries Act prevents unnecessary burocracy when implemented.
Believing that the solution proposed by this amendement is the most fair and less burocratic one.
Hereby;
1). A Senators' wage (currently £5000 per month) will be adjusted annually at the pace of the inflation rate, starting in May 2014.
2). A Minister's wage (currently £6000 per month) will be adjusted annually at the pace of the inflation rate, starting in May 2014.
3). The PM's, Deputy Prime Minister's, President's and Vice President's wage (currently £8000 per month) will be adjusted annually at the pace of the inflation rate, starting in May 2014.
4). Deflation won't affect wages.

Air Traffic Control
In the case an aircraft enters a state of emergency and is forced to perform an emergency landing, the entire land and maritime territory of the Aurentine Commonwealth (except areas restricted based on national defence or security reasons) is to be considered an aerodrome.
As such, pilots that perform an unauthorised emergency landing on private property may not be prosecuted for trespassing or breaking and entering, but may be prosecuted on other charges or be faced with civil litigation if they cause bodily or property damage.
All air traffic controllers in the Aurentine Commonwealth must be certified for the task by the Civil Aviation Authority and have passed the proper tests under ICAO rules and regulations on the matter.
All air traffic controllers must speak fluid and clear English.
Air traffic controllers must retire at the age of 60 at the very maximum.
Air traffic controllers shall not work for more than 2 hours without a 30-minute break, unless an emergency situation (such as an EZN declaration or a lack of replacement) warrants it.
On Portable Electronic DevicesWith Transmitting Function
The usage of portable electronic devices with transmitting functions is prohibited during takeoff, landing, and, if the commanding officer onboard the aircraft deems it necessary, at any other time at his or her discretion.
The usage of "airplane mode" during takeoff and landing is authorised, unless told otherwise by the airline or flight crew.
Airlines may implement stricter, but not laxer, regulations on this subject.
Airlines are mandated to clearly and loudly announce this regulation to all passengers onboard, whether through a live or prerecorded announcement. Failure to do so is Endangering Aerospace Safety, a contravention.
Without Transmitting Function
The usage of portable electronic devices without transmitting functions is prohibited during takeoff and landing at airports lacking air traffic control and, if the commanding officer onboard the aircraft deems it necessary, at any other time at his or her discretion.
Airlines may implement stricter, but not laxer, regulations on this subject.
Final Note
Non-portable electronic devices are prohibited onboard airliners, unless if it is in checked luggage.
On Seatbelts
The pilot and, if applicable, co-pilot, must wear CAA-approved seatbelts at all times while the aircraft is in motion.
All passengers and other staff must wear CAA-approved seatbelts during takeoff, landing and major turbulence (the latter to be determined by the pilot).
Failure to do either is Endangering Aerospace Safety, a contravention.
Emergency Zero Navigation (EZN) Declaration
In the case of a situation in which one could perceive within reasonable doubt that an imminent and grave danger to civilian populations or national security would be posed if civil aviation was to be allowed to continue operation, the Minister of Transportation, Chief of Staff of the Commonwealth Air Force or President of the Aurentine Commonwealth may issue an Emergency Zero Navigation (EZN) for one, several or all of the flight information regions.
If an EZN order is declared for a flight information region, all aircraft currently in it must be landed in the shortest safe timeframe by air traffic control, and aircraft heading to the area must be diverted.
In the case of a nationwide EZN, aircraft less than halfway on a non-stop route to Aurentina must turn back, or, if incapable, diverted to a neighbouring country.
Flight Information Regions
This bill mandates the Minister of Transportation to split Aurentina into four flight information regions, one of which should roughly correspond to the National Capital Region.
Air Defence Identification Zone
The Leishaagen Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ) is hereby established, as the 20km radius surrounding the Government District (defined as the 1km radius around the Senate Building).
All civil aircraft seeking to enter the Leishaagen ADIZ must identify their intentions to air traffic control as soon as they enter the National Capital Region's Flight Information Region, or face interception.
All civil aircraft entering the National Capital Region's Flight Information Region must state their intentions to air traffic control promptly.
The 5km diameter surrounding the Government District is declared prohibited airspace for civil aircraft.
On British Aurentina
The 2km radius around the British Overseas Territory in Southern Aurentina is transferred to the control of its Flight Information Region.
