Adopted

What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Stresses the importance of tackling the issue of fluidity in ports by ensuring enough berth and waiting area capacity for inland vessels
• Underlines the significant potential in refurbishing connecting waterways and canals, especially in regions that have suffered from decades of insufficient investment in inland waterway infrastructure
• Stresses the need to encourage the project development of innovative inland waterway vessels and the corresponding port infrastructure under the Horizon Europe partnership on zero-emission waterborne transport
