8 PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS Long time lines (several decennia) Continuous progress and adaptability Focus and tangible results necessary Adequate visibility and feed back Market observatory
9 Elements of international river governance
10 SCOPE of river governance in the 21 st century APPROACHES of coordinated governance 1) ECOLOGY: ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 2) ECONOMY and TRANSPORT : OPTIMAL NAVIGATIONAL CONDITIONS INTEGRATED (holistic) : - Mekong river - SICOS (Congo river) DISTINCT (dualistic): - Rhine and Danube rivers: (distinct mandates for navigation and water protection)
11 Prerequisites in view of OPTIMAL NAVIGATION 1) Objectives 2) Market functioning 3) Infrastructure and fairway 4) Community of interest 5) Institutional networking Aspects Economic Strategic Inter-regional development Hinterland connections for seaports Access Framework conditions (pricing) Promotion and support Good navigation status Maintenance Long term financing Positive interdependencies Inter-institutional cooperation Participative execution
12 Governance characteristics NAVIGATION/TRANSPORT 1) Free market embedded in framework conditions 2) Equal treatment, level playing field all over the network, hence: 3) Dedicated, sectorial rules and procedures, compelling all over the network; hence : Supranational powers and normative competences ECOLOGY/PROTECTION 1) Strategy embedded in overall environmental policy; 2) Normative competences elsewhere (generic environmental law); 3) multi-disciplinary and multi-focus missions; hence: Consultative character of cooperation

20 RIVER GOVERNANCE for NAVIGATION : a concept
21 REVISED CONVENTION FOR RHINE NAVIGATION FREE ACCESS TO THE MARKET Article 1 The navigation of the Rhine and its estuaries from Basel to the open sea either down or upstream shall be free to the vessels of all nations for the transport of merchandise and persons, provided that they conform to the provisions contained in this Convention and to the measures prescribed for the maintenance of general safety. Apart from these regulations no obstacle of any kind shall be offered to free navigation.
22 Article 3 REVISED CONVENTION FOR RHINE NAVIGATION No duty based solely on navigation may be levied on vessels or their cargoes navigating on the Rhine or its tributaries, in so far as they are in the territory of the High Contracting Parties or on the navigable waterways mentioned in article 2. Article 4 ( ) With regard to the above-mentioned inland waterways, the same treatment in every respect as for nationals shall be given to vessels belonging to Rhine navigation and their cargoes.
23 REVISED CONVENTION FOR RHINE NAVIGATION LEVEL PLAYING FIELD CUSTOMS Article 5 Boatmasters shall not, on any of the navigable waterways mentioned in article 3, be compelled to unload either in part or whole, or to transship their cargoes. Any dues for putting into port or tying-up shall be abolished and shall remain so. Article 6 Merchandise may not under any circumstances be subjected on the Rhine to import or export duties greater than those to which such merchandise would be subjected on entry or exit by land frontier. Article 7 The transit of any merchandise shall be unrestricted on the Rhine from Basel to the open sea unless health measures make exceptions necessary. The riparian States shall not collect any dues on such transit either directly, after transshipment or after warehousing.
24 REVISED CONVENTION FOR RHINE NAVIGATION FRAME WORK CONDITIONS: > PROFESSIONAL QUALFICATIONS Article 15 Only the holder of a Rhine boatmaster's certificate issued by the competent authority of one of the Contracting States shall have the right to operate a vessel on the Rhine ( ) The certificate shall be issued for all of the Rhine or for specific sections. The conditions under which the authorities referred to in article 1 are required to issue a boatmaster's certificate shall be set out in regulations drawn up by mutual agreement.
25 REVISED CONVENTION FOR RHINE NAVIGATION FRAME WORK CONDITIONS: > TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS Article 22 Before a vessel makes its first voyage on the Rhine, the owner or steersman must obtain a certificate stating that the vessel has the structural strength and equipment necessary for navigation on that part of the river for which it is intended. This certificate or license for the vessel shall be issued, after an inspection by experts, by the competent authorities of one of the riparian States.
26 REVISED CONVENTION FOR RHINE NAVIGATION LEVEL PLAYING FIELD: > DUTIES AND CHARGES Article 27 The Governments of the riparian States will ensure that in the free ports, as in all other ports of the Rhine, all necessary measures are taken to facilitate loading, unloading and warehousing of merchandise and that the premises and equipment allocated to them are maintained in good order. To meet the necessary costs of maintenance and supervision, an appropriate fee may be levied. Should the revenue from this fee exceed the amount of expenditure in question, the rate of said fee shall be reduced proportionally.
27 REVISED CONVENTION FOR RHINE NAVIGATION LEVEL PLAYING FIELD: > DUTIES AND CHARGES Article 30 The riparian Governments shall take all necessary steps to see that navigation on the Rhine is not obstructed by either mills or other factories established on the river, or by bridges or other structures. They shall see to it in particular that passage under bridges does not cause any delay to river traffic. It shall be prohibited to make and charge for opening or closing bridges.
28 REVISED CONVENTION FOR RHINE NAVIGATION LEGAL HARMONISATION: > CORDINATED JURISDICTION Article 33 Tribunals empowered to hear all cases mentioned in article 34 shall be set up in suitable plates situated on or in proximity to the Rhine. Article 34 The Rhine navigation tribunals shall have jurisdiction: I. in criminal matters, to investigate and judge all infringements of regulations regarding navigation and river police; II. in civil matters, to hand down summary judgement in disputes concerning; ( )
29 REVISED CONVENTION FOR RHINE NAVIGATION MISSION OF THE CCNR Article 45 The terms of reference for the Central Commission shall be : a) to examine all complaints arising from the application of this Convention ( ) b) to deliberate on the proposals made by riparian Governments concerning the prosperity of Rhine navigation ( ) c) to render judgement in cases of appeal brought before the Commission ( )
