Professional qualifications in inland navigation

This procedure aims to standardize how professional qualifications for workers in inland waterway transport are recognized across the EU. By creating a common framework for certification, the initiative seeks to remove administrative barriers and improve the mobility of skilled workers within the internal market.

This will primarily affect crew members and operators working on rivers and canals. It simplifies the process for professionals to have their certifications accepted in different member states, facilitating easier employment and cross-border transport operations.
