Show the text change (14 lines)
Removed:Recital 5: (5) Given that the majority of journeys of inland vessels are of international nature, RIS should be focused on those inland waterways being a part of the TEN-T and thus of high importance for the Union. Member States should be able to continue extending, on a voluntary basis, the RIS requirements to parts of their inland waterways network other than those included in the TEN-T to account for national specificities. Member States should also be able to provide RIS services in a cross-border context by either of the two Member States concerned. The competent Member States’ authorities should cooperate for the purpose of the provision of these RIS services on cross-border inland waterways.
Added:Recital 1: (1) Directive 2005/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council3 establishes a framework for the deployment and use of harmonised river information services (‘RIS’) in the Union. The deployment of RIS on inland waterways supports the safety, efficiency and sustainability of transport by inland waterways, and ultimately the attractiveness of the sector and of the working conditions of vessel crew members.
Removed:Recital 8: (8) In order for RIS to allow for interconnection with the logistics chain, it is important that information is shared not only within the inland waterway transport users, but also with systems and applications of other modes of transport. The Maritime National Single Windows (‘MNSW’) within the European Maritime Single Window environment (‘EMSWe’)12 should enable harmonised ship reporting across the Union in maritime transport. The exchange of traffic related information, such as arrival and departure times, would ensure interoperability, multimodality, and smooth integration of inland waterway transport (IWT) with the overall logistics chain. The electronic freight transport information (‘eFTI’) should form the basis for the exchange of cargo information on dangerous goods and waste between RIS users where required. When necessary, RIS should facilitate links with, and should make information available to, systems and platforms of other modes of transport.
Added:Recital 4: (4) Regulation (EU) 2024/167910 sets up requirements for the development of the trans-European transport network (‘TEN-T’)11 to achieve the smooth functioning of the internal market, and it aims to ensure that the same high-quality services are available and compatible with the systems of other transport modes along this network. / 10 Regulation (EU) 2024/1679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 June 2024 on Union guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network, amending Regulations (EU) 2021/1153 and (EU) No 913/2010 and repealing Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 (OJ L, 2024/1679, 28.6.2024, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/1679/oj)
Removed:Recital 11 a (new): (11a) Cooperation with third countries, in particular neighbouring countries, is relevant in order to ensure connection and interoperability between the RIS Platform and these third countries´ national RIS. Member States should actively seek such cooperation with neighbouring third countries and encourage their involvement in cross-border projects.
Added:Recital 5: (5) Given that the majority of journeys of inland vessels are of international nature, RIS should be focused on those inland waterways being a part of the TEN-T and thus of high importance for the Union. Member States should be able to continue extending, on a voluntary basis, the RIS requirements to parts of their inland waterways network other than those included in the TEN-T to account for national specificities. Member States should also be able to provide RIS services in a cross-border context by either of the two Member States concerned. The competent Member States’ authorities should cooperate for the purpose of the provision of those RIS services on cross-border inland waterways.
Removed:Recital 12: (12) In order to ensure the proper and effective application of Directive 2005/44/EC and to avoid fragmentation and regulatory burden resulting from its uneven application, Member States should ensure that an effective procedure is in place to handle complaints. Where possible, this should be based on existing feedback mechanisms in order to avoid any additional administrative and financial burden. Member States’ authorities should cooperate when handling complaints involving cross-border elements (for example, incompatible standards in reporting of vessel information), as 75% of inland waterways operations includes international voyages. By analysing the subject matter of the complaints, as well as their frequency and the way and timeliness of their resolution, it can be possible to identify the extent to which the provisions of the Directive are complied with, thus supporting the monitoring of implementation by pointing to areas where implementation can be improved. It is therefore important that this information is collected and reported by the Member States to the Commission an annual basis. Any handling of complaints under this directive should be without prejudice of the competence of supervisory authorities under Union and Member States laws, including Regulation (EU) 2016/67914 and Regulation (EU) 2018/172515 .
Added:Recital 6: (6) The experience gained from the application of Directive 2005/44/EC showed that it is important to strengthen the technical specifications concerning the provision of data on navigation and voyage planning, in order to improve the quality and timeliness of information provided to RIS users. The European Reference Data Management System (‘ERDMS’) provides reference data and code lists necessary for the proper functioning of RIS.
Removed:Recital 14: (14) The requirements and technical specifications for the purposes of RIS should ensure in particular that RIS data, which constitute personal data under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council16, can be processed solely in accordance with a comprehensive, rights-based access-control system that provides assigned functionalities, that all competent authorities can have immediate access to that data in accordance with their respective regulatory competences, that appropriate technical and organisational measures are implemented to ensure that the processing by electronic means of personal data can be carried out in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council17 , including to protect against personal data breaches and that the processing of sensitive commercial information can be carried out in a way that respects the confidentiality of that information.
Added:Recital 8: (8) In order for RIS to allow for interconnection with the logistics chain, it is important that interfaces are established not only between the inland waterway transport systems, but also with systems and applications of other modes of transport. The Maritime National Single Windows (‘MNSW’) within the European Maritime Single Window environment (‘EMSWe’)12 should enable harmonised ship reporting across the Union in maritime transport. The exchange of traffic related information, such as arrival and departure times, would ensure interoperability, multimodality, and smooth integration of inland waterway transport (IWT) with the overall logistics chain. The electronic freight transport information (‘eFTI’) should form the basis for the exchange of cargo information on dangerous goods and waste between RIS users where required. When necessary, RIS should facilitate links with, and should make information available to, systems and platforms of other modes of transport.
Added:Recital 9: (9) The exchange of information between inland waterway vessels and inland ports, for example on availability of port installations, operating times, or vessel and cargo information is not always optimal, which impacts the efficiency of IWT operations. Information on the availability of alternative fuel infrastructure in ports is of particular importance in promoting the environmental performance of the sector. In order to simplify and streamline the exchange of such information and improve the overall efficiency of the sector, it is important that standardised interfaces are established to become part of RIS and that the necessary technical specifications are developed
Added:Recital 11 a (new): (11a) Cooperation with third countries, in particular neighbouring countries, is relevant in order to ensure connection and interoperability between the RIS Platform and those third countries´ national RIS. Member States should actively seek such cooperation with neighbouring third countries and encourage their involvement in cross-border projects, provided they adhere to the same level of cybersecurity.
Added:Recital 12: (12) In order to ensure the proper and effective application of Directive 2005/44/EC and to avoid fragmentation and regulatory burden resulting from its uneven application, Member States should ensure that an effective procedure is in place to handle complaints. Where possible, this should be based on existing feedback mechanisms in order to avoid any additional administrative and financial burden.

It is therefore important that this information is collected and reported by the Member States to the Commission an annual basis. Any handling of complaints under this directive should be without prejudice of the competence of supervisory authorities under Union and Member States laws, including Regulation (EU) 2016/67914 and Regulation (EU) 2018/172515.
Added:Recital 14: (14) The requirements and technical specifications for the purposes of RIS should ensure in particular that RIS data, which constitute personal data under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, can be processed solely in accordance with a comprehensive, rights-based access-control system that provides assigned functionalities, that all competent authorities can have immediate access to that data in accordance with their respective regulatory competences, that appropriate technical and organisational measures are implemented to ensure that the processing by electronic means of personal data can be carried out in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council , including to protect against personal data breaches and that the processing of sensitive commercial information can be carried out in a way that respects the confidentiality of that information.
