Summary: Inland waterway transport is one of the three main land transport modes in Europe. The important loading capacity of inland navigation vessels which is equivalent to hundreds of trucks could contribute to reducing transport costs, emissions and decongesting roads. With this report, the European Court of Auditors assessed whether the EU inland waterway strategies were coherent and based on relevant and comprehensive analysis. In addition, the Court examined whether the projects co‑funded by the EU budget contributed effectively to increase the modal share of this mode of transport and helped in improving navigability conditions. |
