                            EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
In its plenary session of 21st January 1994, the European Parliament approved the proposal
for a Council Regulation (EEC) n° 1101/89* of 27th April 1989, on structural improvement
in inland waterway transport. At the same time, it proposed an amendment to article 5,
paragraph 1, third indent of this regulation, this amendment is intended to clarify the
definition of the vessels which belong to the active fleet and thus could be taken in
consideration for the improvement measures introduced by the Council.
The Commission has accepted the amendment proposed by the Parliament, as it allows a
better definition in terms of the objectives of the regulation of the active fleet.
