The European Commission has launched a public consultation on the Recognition and the modernisation of professional qualifications in inland navigation. The main goal of the consultation is to gather stakeholder information concerning this topic, which will then help to shape improved labour mobility policies for the EU inland navigation sector and thus contribute to better quality jobs and harmonised recognition and certification systems. The consultation is open to inland waterways transport of persons and goods and all the relevant industry and related stakeholders.
Considering the importance of qualified personnel in the inland navigation sector, we encourage all interested stakeholders to take active part in this EC Consultation. All information relevant to the consultation is available online under:
