The use of the European RIS Environment should streamline the provision of RIS, improve efficiency of IWT operations and reduce the burden on RIS providers and users. The European RIS Environment should support relevant services, be a central point for the exchange of RIS information within the inland waterways sector as well as with other transport modes, and therefore become the main digital backbone for the provision of RIS in the Union. Member States should designate one or more competent authorities responsible for operating the European RIS Environment. Those competent authorities are controllers, as defined in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, for the purpose of operating the European RIS Environment.
