Pro Danube International welcomes the Report "Towards Future-Proof Inland Waterway Transport in Europe" initiated by MEP Caroline Nagtegaal and adopted by the European Parliament that recognizes IWT's crucial role in achieving the ambitious objectives of the European Green Deal. In achieving IWT's ultimate goal in becoming climate neutral, the report stresses that adequate "investments in expanding, updating and upgrading the physical and digital infrastructure of inland waterways" are essential prerequisites. Likewise important is the development of inland and seaports as multimodal nodes in the transnational logistics system as well as the human-resources aspects in providing appropriate working conditions, modernising the inland navigation education and training system, and last but not least, to encourage the development of research and innovation within the sector.The report is available for download here.
