1. Roadmap TOWARDS NAIADES II Ports & Inland Navigation
Jorge de Britto Patrício-Dias
Geneva, 10 October 2012

2. I. Problem and Drivers
Full potential of IWT not used in terms of sustainability and of economic performance
Drivers:
IWT infrastructure problems
Market and regulatory failures preventing internalising external costs
Insufficient integration of IWT into the door-to-door logistic chain
The fragmentation of the sector and fragmentation of governance

3. II. Objective
to bring the performance of inland navigation on par with the performance of the other transport modes, for volumes of freight transported and for sustainability aspects

4. III. Options (1) Business as usual
(2) Revise NAIADES I without changing the legislative context
Infrastructure and facilities
Markets and innovation
Information exchange and sharing
Streamlining of governance
(3) Revise NAIADES I alongside new legislative measures
Fleet
Jobs & Skills
Technical adaptation to Technical requirements Directive 2006/87/EC

5. IV. Impact (1) Business as usual
Not an option: NAIADES I is outdated and more focus is needed on key problems
(2) Revise NAIADES I without changing the legislative context
Substantial benefits mainly from TEN-T and HORIZON 2020 implementation
Key problem areas remain unadressed
(3) Revise NAIADES I alongside new legislative measures
Benefits from option (2)
Address barriers related to jobs & skills and market failures at the source of the diminishing environmental profile of the sector

6. V. Progress to Date Various stakeholders consultation meetings
Internet consultation
31 May 2012: Staff Working Document "Towards NAIADES II"

7. VI. Future Steps No impact assessment for Communication as a whole…
But impact assessment for identified components of the Communication
Further stakeholder meeting foreseen in December 2012
Adoption of Communication in Spring 2013
