Consultation on Directive 2016/1629 - Inland waterway vessels

This consultation seeks your views on proposals to implement Directive (EU) 2016/1629 (the Directive). Our recommendation is to take the same approach to implementation that we followed in our implementation of Directive 2006/87/EC (which the Directive repeals), which is to make fullest use possible of derogations available in the Directive.

Responses are welcome from the receipt of this letter until 15th October 2018.

Consultation responses should be emailed to consultationsdmss@mcga.gov.uk. Any questions should also be sent to this email address. When responding, representative groups are asked to give a summary of the people and organisations they represent, and, where relevant, who else they have consulted in reaching their conclusions.
