Structural improvements in inland waterway transport (amend. Regulation (EEC) No 1101/89)

Parliament adopted the recommendation for second reading by Mr Leen VAN DER WAAL (EDN, NL) on structural improvements in inland waterway transport. In view of tanker fleet overcapacity (at least 20%) Parliament considered that an extra scrapping system should be implemented to remove an extra 10% of capacity from the market in the first year. This action would take the form of interest-free loans provided by the Member States concerned. �
