Transport: repealing obsolete Regulations

The Committee on Transport and Tourism adopted the report by Karima DELLI (Greens/EFA, FR) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 1101/89, Regulations (EC) No 2888/2000 and (EC) No 685/2001.

The committee recommended that the European Parliament’s position adopted at first reading, in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, should support the repeal of Regulation (EEC) No 1101/89, Regulation (EC) No 2888/2000 and Regulation (EC) No 685/2001 as proposed by the Commission.

Two amendments were introduced in two recitals. The first states that it is proposed to repeal legislative acts in both inland waterway and haulage sectors.

Furthermore, since Regulation No 546/2014 introduced the subject-matter of repealed Regulation No 1101/89, the second amendment seeks to mention in a recital Regulation No 546/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 718/1999 on a Community-fleet capacity policy to promote inland waterway transport.
