Definitions according to the Blue Book • Basic bottlenecks: "sections of E waterways whose parameters at the present time are not in conformity with the requirements applicable to inland waterways of international importance", i.e. inland waterways of class IV. • Strategic bottlenecks: "other sections satisfying the basic requirements of the class IV but which, nevertheless, ought to be modernized in order to improve the structure of the network or to increase the economic capacity of inland navigation traffic." • Missing links: "such parts of the future network of inland waterways of international importance which do not exist at present." 14

  14. Workflow for preparation of inventory • Obtaining status information on basis of template by PLATINA Experts • Bottlenecks listed in the UNECE “Blue Book” • Missing links/Basic Bottlenecks/Strategic Bottlenecks • Bottlenecks not listed in the UNECE “Blue Book” • Validation by national authorities • Compilation of Report 15
