Amendment 81 #
Proposal for a directive
Recital 7

The competence requirements for navigating on these waterways should be defined at Union level. Without unnecessarily limiting the mobility of boatmasters, when necessary for ensuring safety of navigation, Member States, where relevant in cooperation with the relevant European River Commission, should also have the possibility to identify the waterways entailing specific risks for navigation in accordance with harmonised criteria and procedures, pursuant to this Directive. In such a case, the related competence requirements should be set at Member State level.
