RIS was established in the Union in 2005, and since then considerable experience in its development and implementation has been gained by the Member States. Furthermore, the technical specifications necessary for the functioning of RIS are included in Annex III to Directive 2005/44/EC. In that regard, Article 12(2) of Directive 2005/44/EC should be deleted. In addition, by amending the scope of Directive 2005/44/EC to focus on the TEN-T, the requirement to implement RIS is applicable on the most important inland waterways, creating a reliable transport network. Article 12(3) of Directive 2005/44/EC should therefore be deleted.
