Amendment 20 #
Recital 14 a (new)
(14a) As the Athens Convention is only applicable to international transport by sea, transport by inland waterways is not covered by the same liability requirements. Passengers of inland waterways carriers should benefit from comparable protection in terms of the level and nature of liability to that enjoyed by maritime transport passengers. Member States should cooperate actively in negotiations on applicable inland waterways conventions in order to obtain equivalent protection for passengers on European inland waterways.
