In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.
 

(2)

Pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 718/1999, the Commission must lay down the practical arrangements for implementing the Community fleet capacity policy defined in the abovementioned Regulation.

(4)

In order to ensure mutual financial support between the inland waterways' funds, it is advisable for the Commission, with the help of the various fund authorities, at the beginning of each year, to enter in the accounts the resources available in the reserve fund and to balance the accounts in the event of new improvement measures.
 

(5)

The Member States concerned and the organisations representing inland waterway carriers at Community level have been consulted on the measures provided for in this Regulation,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
