of 13 July 2000
amending Regulation (EC) No 805/1999 laying down certain measures for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 718/1999 on a Community-fleet capacity policy to promote inland waterway transport
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 718/1999 of 29 March 1999 on a Community-fleet capacity policy to promote inland waterway transport(1), and in particular Article 9(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 718/1999 requires the Commission to lay down detailed rules for implementing the Community-fleet capacity policy as defined by that Regulation.
(2) Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 805/1999(2), adopted pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 718/1999, set ratios for the "old-for-new" rule to apply from 29 April 1999.
(3) Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 718/1999 requires the "old-for-new" ratio to be constantly reduced to bring it as quickly as possible and in regular stages to zero no later than 29 April 2003. A new "old-for-new" ratio should therefore be set for the year 2000.
(4) Economic developments in the various sectors of the inland waterways transport market make it expedient to reduce the various "old-for-new" ratios mentioned in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 718/1999 and set by Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 805/1999, though without undoing the achievements of the structural improvement carried out since 1990.

The ratio for tanker vessels requires a smaller adjustment, to 1,15:1, as the situation in this sector remains worrying and the market is not growing. A larger adjustment is required for the pusher craft ratio, to 0,50:1, as overcapacity is not great in this sector.

3. In Article 4(3), the ratio "0,75:1" is replaced by "0,50:1".
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
