The experience gained from the application of Directive 2005/44/EC has shown that it is important to strengthen the technical specifications concerning the provision of data for navigation and voyage planning on inland waterways in order to improve the quality and timeliness of information provided to RIS users. The European Reference Data Management System (ERDMS) contains reference data and code lists necessary for the proper functioning of RIS and is set up and currently operated by the Commission. The operation of the ERDMS could be transferred to a third party in the future.
