English-Hungarian translations for bitumen

• bitumen
  Valójában épp ennek az ellentéte igaz: a "palaolaj” átfogóbb fogalom a "bitumenes palánál”. In fact, the opposite is true: 'oil shales' is a broader term than 'bitumen shales'.
  A lengyel előadó, Adam Gierek azt javasolta, hogy a "palaolajat” cseréljük fel a "bitumenes pala” kifejezésre arra alapozva, hogy a "bitumenes pala” kifejezés a "palaolajat” is magában foglalja. The Polish rapporteur, Adam Gierek, has proposed replacing 'oil shales' in the definition with 'bitumen shales', on the ground that the term 'bitumen shales' also covers 'oil shales'.
