THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Directive (EU) 2017/2397 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2017 on the recognition of professional qualifications in inland navigation and repealing Council Directives 91/672/EEC and 96/50/ECf1, and in particular Article 11(3), Article 18(3) and Article 22(4) thereof,

After consulting the Committee referred to in Article 33 of Directive (EU) 2017/2397,

Whereas:

(1)

Directive (EU) 2017/2397 sets out the conditions and procedures for the certifying the qualifications of persons involved in the operation of a craft on Union inland waterways. The certification aims at facilitating mobility, ensuring the safety of navigation and ensuring the protection of human life and the environment.

(2)

To ensure uniform conditions for its implementation, Directive (EU) 2017/2397 requires that models for issuing Union certificates of qualification, service record books, single documents combining Union certificates of qualification and service record books, logbooks and practical examination certificates are established.

(3)

Pursuant to Article 34 of Directive (EU) 2017/2397, the implementing acts establishing these models, must refer to standards established by the European Committee for drawing up standards in the field of inland navigation (‘CESNI’) and include the entire text of those standards, provided that those standards are available and up-to-date, that they comply with the applicable requirements set out in the Annexes to Directive (EU) 2017/2397 and that Union interests are not compromised by changes in the decision-making process of CESNI. On 15 October 2019, CESNI adopted Resolutionsf2 establishing the standards on models in the field of professional qualifications in inland navigation, in full compliance with the conditions set out in Article 34 of Directive (EU) 2017/2397.

(4)

In accordance with the recommendations set out in the EU eGovernment Action Plan 2016-2020f3, eGovernment should be used to increase efficiency of public services and facilitate business friendly cross-border public administrations. Therefore a model in electronic form for Union certificates of qualifications as a boatmaster, a liquefied natural gas expert and a passenger navigation expert should also be established,
