Directive (EU) 2016/1629 of the European Parliament and of the Council introduced a process based on technical specifications developed by the CESNI. CESNI, which acts under the auspices of the Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine (CCNR) and is open to experts from all Member States, is responsible for drawing up the technical standards in the field of inland waterway transport. Experience has shown that CESNI has developed and updated technical requirements for inland navigation vessels in an organised and timely manner. Taking into account the expertise of CESNI and the experience gained from the implementation of Directive (EU) 2016/1629, a similar approach should be applied with regard to Directive 2005/44/EC.
