".
I voted for the Sommer report as I believe inland waterway navigation is a key factor in transport intermodality.
The European Union has a dense network of canals and natural rivers which are not yet being used to their full extent and are worth exploiting in view of the safety and environmental friendliness of this mode of transport.
This proposal, which is intended to establish a Europe-wide framework for the introduction of inland waterway transport information services, may contribute to improved and more effective traffic and transport management on inland waterways.
It is time to ensure the interoperability of such services and to lay the foundations for modern supply-chain management. Real-time information thus clearly makes the sector more competitive.
This proposal does not excessively constrain action by the Member States, and it should also lead to significantly less subjective error and fewer accidents. The new technologies to which it refers may give the sector a boost and affect the distribution of modes of transport in the economy. Intermodal transport systems, which form a basic model for future transport, should therefore take account of the positive role that inland waterway navigation can and must play."@en1
