REGULATION (EC) No 1365/2006 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 6 September 2006
on statistics of goods transport by inland waterways and repealing Council Directive 80/1119/EEC
Article 1
Subject matter
This Regulation establishes common rules for the production of Community statistics concerning inland waterways transport.
Article 2
Scope
1. Member States shall transmit to the Commission (Eurostat) data relating to inland waterways transport on their national territory.
2. Member States in which the total volume of goods transported annually by inland waterways as national, international or transit transport exceeds 1 000 000 tonnes shall supply the data referred to in Article 4(1).
3. By way of derogation from paragraph 2, Member States where there is no international or transit inland waterways transport but where the total volume of goods transported annually by inland waterways as national transport exceeds 1 000 000 tonnes shall supply only the data required under Article 4(2).
4. This Regulation shall not apply to:
(a) the carriage of goods by vessels of less than 50 deadweight tonnes;
(b) vessels used principally for the carriage of passengers;
(c) vessels used for ferrying purposes;
(d) vessels used solely for non-commercial purposes by port administrations and public authorities;
(e) vessels used solely for bunkering or storage;
(f) vessels not used for the carriage of goods such as fishery vessels, dredgers, floating workshops, houseboats and pleasure craft.
5. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts, in accordance with Article 9, concerning the amendment of paragraph 2 of this Article to raise the threshold for statistical coverage of inland waterways transport referred to therein in order to take account of economic and technical trends. When exercising that power, the Commission shall ensure that the delegated acts do not impose a significant additional burden on the Member States or on the respondents. Furthermore, the Commission shall duly justify the statistical actions for which those delegated acts provide, using, where appropriate, cost-effectiveness analysis, including an assessment of the burden on respondents and of the production costs as referred to in point (c) of Article 14(3) of Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 1 ).
Article 3
Definitions
For the purposes of this Regulation the following definitions shall apply:
(a) ‘navigable inland waterway’ means a watercourse, not part of the sea, which by natural or man-made features is suitable for navigation, primarily by inland waterway vessels;
(b) ‘inland waterway vessel’ means a floating craft designed for the carriage of goods or public transport of passengers which navigates predominantly in navigable inland waterways or in waters within, or closely adjacent to sheltered waters or areas where port regulations apply;
(c) ‘nationality of the vessel’ means the country in which the vessel is registered;
(d) ‘inland waterways transport’ means any movement of goods and/or passengers using inland waterways vessels which is undertaken wholly or partly in navigable inland waterways;
(e) ‘national inland waterways transport’ means inland waterways transport between two ports of a national territory irrespective of the nationality of the vessel;
(f) ‘international inland waterways transport’ means inland waterways transport between two ports located in different national territories;
(g) ‘transit inland waterways transport’ means inland waterways transport through a national territory between two ports both located in another national territory or national territories provided that in the total journey within the national territory there is no transshipment;
(h) ‘inland waterways traffic’ means any movement of a vessel on a given navigable inland waterway,
The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 9, concerning the amendment of the present Article to adapt the definitions contained therein or provide for new ones in order to take into account relevant definitions amended or adopted at international level.
When exercising that power, the Commission shall ensure that the delegated acts do not impose a significant additional burden on the Member States or on the respondents. Furthermore, the Commission shall duly justify the statistical actions for which those delegated acts provide, using, where appropriate, cost-effectiveness analysis, including an assessment of the burden on respondents and of the production costs, as referred to in point (c) of Article 14(3) of Regulation (EC) No 223/2009.
Article 4
Data collection
1. Data shall be collected in accordance with the tables set out in Annexes A to D.
2. In the case referred to in Article 2(3) data shall be collected in accordance with the table set out in Annex E.
3. For the purposes of this Regulation, goods shall be classified in accordance with Annex F.
4. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 9, concerning the amendment of the Annexes to reflect changes in coding and nomenclature at international level or in the relevant Union legislative acts. When exercising that power, the Commission shall ensure that the delegated acts do not impose a significant additional burden on the Member States or on the respondents. Furthermore, the Commission shall duly justify the statistical actions for which those delegated acts provide, using, where appropriate, cost-effectiveness analysis, including an assessment of the burden on respondents and of the production costs, as referred to in point (c) of Article 14(3) of Regulation (EC) No 223/2009.
Article 4a
Pilot studies
1. By 8 December 2018, the Commission, in cooperation with the Member States, shall develop the appropriate methodology for compiling statistics on passenger transport by inland waterways, including by cross-border transport services.
2. By 8 December 2019, the Commission shall launch voluntary pilot studies to be carried out by Member States that provide data within the scope of this Regulation on the availability of statistical data relating to passenger transport by inland waterways, including by cross-border transport services. Those pilot studies shall aim to assess the feasibility of those new data collections, the costs of the related data collections and the statistical quality implied.
3. By 8 December 2020, the Commission shall submit a report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the results of such pilot studies. Depending on the results of that report, and within a reasonable period, the Commission shall submit, if appropriate, a legislative proposal to the European Parliament and to the Council to amend this Regulation with regard to statistics on passenger transport by inland waterways, including by cross-border transport services.
4. The general budget of the Union shall, where appropriate and taking into account the Union’s added value, contribute to the financing of those pilot studies.
Article 5
Transmission of data
1. The first period of observation shall begin on 1 January 2007. The transmission of data shall take place as soon as possible and no later than five months after the end of the relevant period of observation.
2. The Commission shall adopt implementing acts laying down the arrangements for transmitting data to the Commission (Eurostat), including data interchange standards. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 10(2).
Article 6
Dissemination
Community statistics based on the data referred to in Article 4 shall be disseminated with a frequency similar to that laid down for the transmission of data by the Member States.
The Commission shall adopt implementing acts laying down the arrangements for disseminating results. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 10(2).
