Motivation
Inland navigation
Environmentally friendly
Economic mode of transport especially for longer distances: crossing at least one country and / or administrational border
Border crossing leads to long waiting times and inefficiencies in the transportation process
Lack of information
Lack of modern information technologies
Missing link between traffic and transport information
Solution: harmonisation and standardisation of cross border procedures by using standardised means for reporting
COMPRIS Demonstrator, Bratislava, 30th September 2005page: 5
Shortcomings
Information collected by different means – voice communication (VHF, phones), paper form – legally binding character
Information is not exchanged between responsible authorities in different countries (not even on national level in one country)
Redundant information are provided by actors when sailing through countries and crossing borders

Cross Border Management
Cross border management is the process of defining, planning, implementing and controlling the efficient and effective flow of people, means of transport and goods, passengers, animals and their accompanying information across country (regional) and / or administrative (organisational) borders for the purpose of complying with requirements of authorities and safeguarding commercial interests.
Definition of Cross Border Management as proposed in COMPRIS WP6
COMPRIS Demonstrator, Bratislava, 30th September 2005page: 7
Cross Border Information Services
Provide crucial information to facilitate seamless cross border management for the seamless operation and services in inland water transport and short sea shipping, by means of electronic reporting.

Future Cross Border Services
Standardisation progress and harmonisation are under development and implementation stays behind (time and focus)
Conditions for implementation:
Common understanding between involved authorities
Update of electronic reporting system / application to the needs of this service
Infrastructure on the authority / commercials side (existing or new)
Interface between applications used at the authority and commercials

Conclusions (1)
Missing harmonised approach alongside the European inland waterways covering different cross border information services
Use of different forms for reporting on voyages, vessels, cargo and persons on board
Use of different means for reporting (electronic way, paper way, VHF radio, fax, phone)
Different data requested by authorities in countries responsible covering the needs of cross border services
Different or missing cross border procedures applied within services (specific service business areas)
Missing harmonisation and standardisation of data for reporting on European level
COMPRIS Demonstrator, Bratislava, 30th September 2005page: 17
Conclusions (2)
Lack of information sharing between authorities within the same or neighbouring administrative areas / countries
Limited electronic reporting possibilities, especially on the Danube
Insufficient incorporation of up-to-date tracking and tracing information in the reporting processes
Missing transparency in terms of complying with other modes of transports (namely SSS and maritime)
Lot of paperwork and bureaucracy in the field of IWT and SSS
COMPRIS Demonstrator, Bratislava, 30th September 2005page: 18
Recommendations (1)
To continue the work based on COMPRIS WP6 and ERI knowledge (involve Danube countries into ERI) in order to
Ensure continuity of standardisation that has already startedTrigger harmonisation process in newly identified cross border services Guarantee the common approach of all European countries Provide guidelines on the implementation of electronic reporting applicable and acceptable on a European level
To hand over the CB topic to the High Level Working Group comprising the national and international authorities affected by CBIS
To build up and foster the reporting infrastructure (on shore/on vessel), especially where this infrastructure is missing
COMPRIS Demonstrator, Bratislava, 30th September 2005page: 19
Recommendations (2)
To implement electronic reporting systems enabling the up-to-date information sharing between involved actors (logistical as well as authorities)
To incorporate up-to-date tracking and tracing information in the reporting processes for the fulfilment of seamless cross-border services
To ensure the compliance of cross border data with those exchanged in maritime and short sea shipping in order to guarantee the transparency of information and link between modes of transport
To harmonise the legislation regarding reporting on inland waterways in Europe

Electronic Reporting
Electronic Cross Border reporting
is a method for the international exchange of information
that crosses borders via electronic means (e.g. Internet)
based on established message standards (e.g. EDIFACT,XML)
