Approved organisations

Non-governmental organisations on a European scale that have an interest in inland navigation may obtain the status of “approved organisation”, as defined in a resolution adopted in 2001. This status enables them to participate in the CCNR’s working parties and other activities, and gives them access to the CCNR’s working documents. The approved organisations are not only consulted regularly; they are also encouraged to submit their problems and their proposals to the CCNR.

Currently, the following organisations have been approved:

• ESO European Skippers’ Organisation
• EBU European Barge Union
