The first steps have been set through an administrative arrangement between the Commission services and the Central Commission for the Navigation of the Rhine and a new proposal for a Directive adopted as part of the NAIADES II package, replacing the Directive 2006/87/EC on technical requirements for inland waterway vessels and allowing to enact uniform standards.
Alustuseks on komisjoni talituste ja Reini navigatsiooni keskkomisjoni vahel paika pandud halduskord ning NAIADES II paketi osana on vastu võetud ettepanek uue direktiivi kohta, millega asendatakse direktiiv 2006/87/EÜ (millega nähakse ette siseveelaevade tehnilised nõuded) ning millega kehtestatakse ühtsed standardid.
