  • 07732/2/1996 summary

    In its common position the Council thought it better to keep to the date 31 July 1999 rather than opting for 31 December 1999 (as proposed by the EP), the end date for the aid scheme, so as to allow sufficient time for implementation of the decisions to be taken at that time. Furthermore, the common position no longer explicitly requires an undertaking by aid beneficiaries to provide new or additional tonnage on the waterway, failing which aid must be repaid. The Council did, however, decide to make the granting of aid subject to two conditions: that the investment must actually be made and that the detailed arrangements laid down by the Member State must be complied with. �

• 1996/04/22 Modified legislative proposal published
  • COM(1996)0182 summary

    The Commission's amended proposal incorporates the EP amendments seeking to: - ensure that all or part of the aid may be recovered by the competent authority in the event of the beneficiaries failing to honour the undertaking to provide new or additional transport tonnage on the inland waterway; - ensure that the Council takes a decision on subsequent arrangements no later than 31 December 1999, on a proposal from the Commission. �

  • T4-0045/1996 summary

    The European Parliament adopted the report by Mr Leen van der WAAL (EDN, NL). The granting of aids for transport by rail, road and inland waterway would make it possible for Member States to subsidize investment in terminals. The EP asked that it also be possible to subsidize investment not only in fixed and mobile equipment, but also in telematics and other communications equipment. No later than 31 December 1999 the Council should decide, on a proposal from the Commission, on subsequent arrangements. �

    OBJECTIVE: to promote investment in infrastructure and/or equipment for inland waterway terminals which will develop new or additional tonnage on the inland waterways. COMMUNITY MEASURE: proposal for a Council regulation amending Regulation (EEC) No 1107/70 on the granting of aids for transport by rail, road and inland waterway. CONTENT: continuation until 31 December 1999 of the possibility for national aid for investments in infrastructure and/or equipment needed in inland waterway terminals, to be based on the current aid system for combined transport, in order to promote inland waterways. The aid granted must not exceed 50% of the actual cost of the investment. The Council will rule on the scheme to be applied at a later date by 31 July 1999 at the Commission's proposal.�
