48. Stresses the need to reinforce R&I in the field of inland navigation, namely in order to develop clean vessels and technologies adapted to low-draught navigation such as River Adapted Ships for Sustainable Inland Navigation (RASSIN), which would allow savings to be made in inland waterway infrastructure;

23. Stresses the need to encourage the development of clean and efficient vessels under the Seventh Framework Programme on research and development; points, in this respect, to developments in vessel construction for use on different kinds of waters, including limited draught, which can promote IWT even on waters with low or variable water levels, without harming the natural environment; considers, in this connection, that there should be a particular focus on information and communication technologies and the design, eco-efficiency and equipment of vessels;
