   1.  In the context of a people’s Europe, the Commission attaches great importance to
       simplifying and clarifying the law of the Union so as to make it clearer and more
       accessible to citizens, thus giving them new opportunities and the chance to make
       use of the specific rights it gives them.
       This aim cannot be achieved so long as numerous provisions that have been amended
       several times, often quite substantially, remain scattered, so that they must be sought
       partly in the original instrument and partly in later amending ones. Considerable
       research work, comparing many different instruments, is thus needed to identify the
       current rules.
       For this reason a codification of rules that have frequently been amended is also
       essential if the law is to be clear and transparent.
   2.  On 1 April 1987 the Commission decided1 to instruct its staff that all acts should be
       codified after no more than ten amendments, stressing that this is a minimum
       requirement and that departments should endeavour to codify at even shorter
       intervals the texts for which they are responsible, to ensure that their provisions are
       clear and readily understandable.
   3.  The Conclusions of the Presidency of the Edinburgh European Council
       (December 1992) confirmed this2, stressing the importance of codification as it offers
       certainty as to the law applicable to a given matter at a given time.
       Codification must be undertaken in full compliance with the normal procedure for
       the adoption of acts of the Union.
       Given that no changes of substance may be made to the instruments affected by
       codification, the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission have agreed,
       by an interinstitutional agreement dated 20 December 1994, that an accelerated
       procedure may be used for the fast-track adoption of codification instruments.
   4.  The purpose of this proposal is to undertake a codification of Regulation (EC)
       No 1365/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 September 2006
       on statistics of goods transport by inland waterways and repealing Council
       Directive 80/1119/EEC3. The new Regulation will supersede the various acts
       incorporated in it4; this proposal fully preserves the content of the acts being codified
       and hence does no more than bring them together with only such formal amendments
       as are required by the codification exercise itself.
   5.  The codification proposal was drawn up on the basis of a preliminary consolidation,
       in 24 official languages, of Regulation (EC) No 1365/2006 and the instruments
       amending it, carried out by the Publications Office of the European Union, by means
       of a data-processing system. Where the Articles have been given new numbers, the
       correlation between the old and the new numbers is shown in a table set out in
       Annex VIII to the codified Regulation.

                                                Proposal for a
       REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
                  on statistics of goods transport by inland waterways(codification)
   THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty ⌦ on the Functioning of the European Union ⌫, and in
   particular Article ⌦ 338 ⌫ (1) thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
   After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national Parliaments,
   Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee5,
   Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure,
   Whereas:
   (1)     Regulation (EC) No 1365/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council6 has
           been substantially amended several times7. In the interests of clarity and rationality,
           that Regulation should be codified.
                                                                       1365/2006 recital 1 (adapted)
   (2)     Inland waterways are an important part of the ⌦ Union ⌫ 's transport networks and
           the promotion of inland waterways transport is one of the objectives of the common
           transport policy, both for reasons of economic efficiency and in order to reduce energy
           consumption and the environmental impact of transport.
                                                                       1365/2006 recital 2
   (3)     The Commission needs statistics concerning the transport of goods by inland
           waterways in order to monitor and develop the common transport policy, as well as
           the transport elements of policies on the regions and on trans-European networks.

   (4)  ⌦ European ⌫ statistics on all modes of transport should be collected according
       to common concepts and standards, with the aim of achieving the fullest practicable
       comparability between transport modes.
                                                                      1365/2006 recital 6
   (5) Inland waterways transport does not occur in all Member States and, therefore, the
       effect of this Regulation is limited to those Member States where this mode of
       transport exists.
                                                                      1365/2006 recital 7 (adapted)
   (6) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely the creation of common statistical
       standards that permit the production of harmonised data, cannot be sufficiently
       achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at ⌦ Union ⌫
       level, the ⌦ Union ⌫ may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of
       subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty ⌦ on European Union ⌫. In
       accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this
       Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.
                                                                      1365/2006 recital 8
   (7) Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council8
       provides a reference framework for the provisions laid down by this Regulation.
                                                                      2016/1954 recital 5 (adapted)
   (8)  In order to take into account economic and technical trends and changes in definitions
       adopted at international level, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290
       of the Treaty ⌦ on the Functioning of the European Union ⌫ should be delegated to
       the Commission in respect of amending ⌦ this ⌫ Regulation to raise the threshold
       above 1 000 000 tonnes for statistical coverage of inland waterways transport, to adapt
       definitions or provide for new ones, as well as to adapt the Annexes to ⌦ this ⌫
       Regulationto reflect changes in coding and nomenclature at international level or in
       the relevant Union legislative acts. It is of particular importance that the Commission
       carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert
       level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid
       down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making9. In
       particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the
       European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as

   (10)   In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of ⌦ this ⌫
          Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission enabling it
          to adopt arrangements for transmitting data, including data interchange standards, for
          the dissemination of results by the Commission (Eurostat) and also to develop and
          publish methodological requirements and criteria designed to ensure the quality of the
          data produced. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU)
          No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council10.

   (11)   It is necessary for the Commission to arrange for pilot studies to be conducted on the
          availability of statistical data relating to passenger transport by inland waterways,
          including by cross border transport services. The Union should contribute to the cost
          of carrying out those pilot studies. Such contributions should take the form of grants
          awarded to the national statistical institutes and other national authorities referred to in
          Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 223/2009, in accordance with Regulation (EU,
