2001/997 - Incineration of waste
Commission Regulation (EC) No 997/2001 amends Regulation (EC) No 805/1999, implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 718/1999, which establishes a Community-fleet capacity policy to promote inland waterway transport. The amendment adjusts the "old-for-new" replacement ratios for different vessel categories to reflect current economic conditions in the inland waterways transport market while maintaining structural improvements since 1990. Specifically, the ratio for dry cargo carriers is reduced from 1:1 to 0.80:1 due to sector growth; the tanker vessels ratio is adjusted from 1.30:1 to 1.15:1 as the market remains worrisome and stagnant; and the pusher craft ratio is lowered from 0.75:1 to 0.50:1 as overcapacity is less severe. These changes aim to steadily reduce fleet capacity over time, in line with the policy goal to phase out excess capacity by April 29, 2003, through progressive ratio reductions. The regulation entered into force twenty days after publication and is binding and directly applicable in all EU Member States.
Purpose
The Directive 2001/997 (technically a Commission Regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 805/1999) aims to update and refine the Community-fleet capacity policy established under Council Regulation (EC) No 718/1999. This policy is designed to promote inland waterway transport within the European Community by managing fleet capacity through structural adjustments. Specifically, it adjusts the "old-for-new" replacement ratios for vessels to balance fleet modernization with market conditions, avoid overcapacity, and support sustainable growth in the sector.
Key Obligations
Adjustment of "Old-for-New" Ratios: The Regulation modifies the replacement ratios for different categories of inland waterway vessels, which determine how much old fleet capacity can be replaced by new capacity. These ratios must constantly decrease, aiming for zero replacement by 29 April 2003.
- Dry Cargo Carriers: The replacement ratio is lowered from 1:1 to 0.80:1, reflecting continued growth in this segment while still promoting modernization.
- Tanker Vessels: The ratio is adjusted from 1.30:1 to 1.15:1, indicating a cautious reduction because of ongoing market difficulties and lack of growth.
- Pusher Craft: The ratio is further reduced from 0.75:1 to 0.50:1, acknowledging that overcapacity is not substantial in this segment and allowing for greater fleet reduction.
Regular Updates: The Directive reflects a broader obligation to adjust these ratios regularly in accordance with economic developments affecting the inland waterway transport market.
Binding and Directly Applicable: The Regulation is binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all EU Member States upon entry into force, ensuring uniform compliance.
Affected Products and Actors
- Inland Waterway Vessels: The regulations affect dry cargo carriers, tanker vessels, and pusher craft operating within the EU’s inland waterways.
- Fleet Operators: Companies and stakeholders owning or managing inland waterway transport fleets must comply with the updated replacement ratios.
- Member States: Responsible for enforcing these rules at the national level, ensuring fleet capacity policies align with Community-wide objectives laid out by the Regulation.
Implementation Timeline
- Adoption Date: 22 May 2001.
- Entry into Force: The Regulation became effective 20 days after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities, i.e., in mid-June 2001.
- Phased Reduction: The "old-for-new" replacement ratios are part of a phased reduction plan to reach zero by 29 April 2003, emphasizing a gradual but consistent downsizing and modernization of the fleet capacity.
This Directive is a targeted legislative update to ensure the EU maintains a balanced, efficient, and competitive inland waterway transport sector by controlling fleet capacity through carefully calibrated replacement rules.
The directive applies to the inland waterway transport sector within the European Community, specifically focusing on vessels and fleet capacity. It addresses measures implementing the Community-fleet capacity policy under Council Regulation (EC) No 718/1999. The scope includes different types of vessels used in inland waterways, such as dry cargo carriers, tanker vessels, and pusher craft. The directive sets and adjusts "old-for-new" replacement ratios for these vessel categories to manage and promote sustainable fleet capacity, aiming to reduce overcapacity while supporting structural improvements and market needs in the inland waterway transport industry. These regulations are binding and directly applicable across all Member States.

Le règlement (CE) n° 997/2001 modifie le règlement (CE) n° 805/1999 concernant la politique de capacité des flottes communautaires dans la navigation intérieure pour promouvoir le transport par voie navigable. Il ajuste les ratios de la règle « vieux pour neuf » afin de réduire progressivement la capacité des flottes. Ces ratios sont abaissés pour différentes catégories de bateaux : les bateaux à cargaison sèche passent de 1:1 à 0,80:1, les bateaux citernes de 1,30:1 à 1,15:1, et les pousseurs de 0,75:1 à 0,50:1. Cette révision reflète les évolutions économiques du secteur, visant à continuer l'assainissement structurel sans compromettre la croissance dans certains segments. Ces mesures entrent en vigueur vingt jours après publication et sont obligatoires et directement applicables dans tous les États membres. Le texte s'appuie sur les avis d'experts et respecte l'objectif de réduire la capacité excédentaire des flottes communautaires dans le cadre fixé par le règlement n° 718/1999.
Objet
Le règlement (CE) n° 997/2001 modifie le règlement (CE) n° 805/1999 relatif à la mise en œuvre du règlement (CE) n° 718/1999, qui établit une politique de capacité des flottes communautaires dans la navigation intérieure. Cette politique vise à promouvoir le transport fluvial au sein de l'Union européenne en régulant la capacité des flottes pour éviter la surcapacité qui engendre des déséquilibres économiques.
L'objectif principal de cette modification est d’ajuster les ratios de la règle dite « vieux pour neuf » applicable aux différentes catégories de bateaux dans le cadre du renouvellement des flottes. Cette règle impose que l’ajout de capacité nouvelle (bateaux neufs) soit compensé par la suppression d’une quantité correspondante de capacité ancienne, afin de limiter la croissance de la flotte et donc la surcapacité.
Obligations clés
Réduction progressive et continue du ratio « vieux pour neuf » pour atteindre zéro au plus tard le 29 avril 2003, conformément à l’article 4, paragraphe 2 du règlement (CE) n° 718/1999.
Modification des ratios spécifiques appliqués à trois catégories de bateaux :
- Bateaux à cargaison sèche : le ratio est abaissé de 1:1 à 0,80:1.
- Bateaux citernes : le ratio passe de 1,30:1 à 1,15:1.
- Pousseurs : le ratio est réduit de 0,75:1 à 0,50:1.
Ces ajustements sont basés sur l’évolution économique des différents segments du marché de la navigation intérieure : la croissance continue du secteur des cargaisons sèches, une situation stagnante et préoccupante pour les bateaux citernes, et une surcapacité peu prononcée pour les pousseurs.
Maintien de l’action d’assainissement structurel amorcée depuis 1990 pour réguler la flotte.
Produits et acteurs concernés
Les flottes communautaires engagées dans la navigation intérieure, en particulier les opérateurs et propriétaires de :
- Bateaux à cargaison sèche,
- Bateaux citernes,
- Pousseurs (bateaux de remorquage).
Les États membres de l’Union européenne qui doivent appliquer directement ce règlement pour réguler et contrôler la capacité de leurs flottes conformément aux ratios fixés.
Calendrier de mise en œuvre
Le règlement est entré en vigueur le vingtième jour suivant sa publication au Journal officiel des Communautés européennes, c’est-à-dire peu après le 22 mai 2001.
Les ratios nouveaux s’appliquent de façon progressive de 2000 jusqu’à atteindre le niveau zéro (absence de nouvelle capacité non compensée par la suppression d’ancienne) au plus tard le 29 avril 2003.
Ce règlement est obligatoire dans tous ses éléments et directement applicable dans tous les États membres dès son entrée en vigueur, sans délai d’intégration national supplémentaire.
Le règlement modifie les règles d'application du règlement (CE) n° 718/1999 relatif à la politique de capacité des flottes communautaires dans la navigation intérieure, visant à promouvoir le transport par voie navigable dans l'Union européenne. Il s'applique aux flottes de navigation intérieure, notamment aux bateaux à cargaison sèche, aux bateaux citernes et aux pousseurs. Le règlement adapte les ratios de la règle dite "vieux pour neuf", qui fixe les limites de capacité des flottes communautaires en fonction de l'âge des navires, afin de favoriser un équilibre progressif et durable du marché. Il concerne ainsi la gestion de la capacité et la politique de renouvellement des flottes naviguant sur les voies d'eau intérieures européennes, dans les secteurs de transport fluvial de marchandises par voie navigable.

Frequently Asked Questions
An EU Directive is a legislative act of the European Union that sets out goals that all EU member states must achieve. However, it is up to each member state to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals through national transposition. Directives are used to harmonize laws across the EU, particularly for the functioning of the single market.
Directive 2001/997 covers "Incineration of waste". There are 15 standards associated with this directive.
Harmonized standards under 2001/997 are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 2001/997, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
