"It is very important to know what's going on at the European level, to exchange ideas and information with our European colleagues, to have a common approach on cross-border issues, and to build a coherent European strategy. This we are able to do through, and thanks to INE".

"As representatives of the Danube riparian states promotion of inland waterway transport for a decision-maker is an important task on our agenda. To develop inland waterway transport we strongly believe in national and European cooperation".

Hilde Bollen, Promotie Binnenvaart Vlaanderen
"Inland navigation is the most European of all transport modes. The EU has legislative powers that heavily impact Flemish waterways transport, which makes it necessary for us to stay abreast of EU policy developments. Better to be an active player than to stand silently on the side".

Kees de Vries, Bureau Voorlichting Binnenvaart
"Thanks to the early information of INE, we are able to map out a strategic route and communicate pro-actively in the Netherlands and in Europe".

Patrick Lambert, Voies Navigables de France
"INE provides a strategic and coherent approach to the asset of inland waterways in Europe, from the borders of the sea into the hearts of our cities".
