The committee adopted the report by Renate SOMMER (EPP-ED, DE) approving the Council's common position on the directive laying down technical requirements for inland waterway vessels, subject to just one amendment under the 2nd reading of the codecision procedure. This called for the annexes of the directive and those of the 1994 directive on recreational craft to be adjusted under the comitology procedure as soon as possible "if there are any contradictions or incompatibilities between the provisions of those directives".
