III. Impacts• Business as usual
o would maintain the status quo, no solution, no option.
• Option (b) harmonisation of the training standardso only the training standards for all crew memberso barriers to entering the profession (certification) not dealt witho most visible effects on safety of navigation because of the modernised training programmes
• Option (c) harmonisation of the professional qualification and certification rules:o only certification affected and with that barriers to entering the profession, the training aspect left
outside of the scopeo noticeable effects on the labour market, shortages and the SMEs as they could benefit from the
extended supply of boatmen and other crew members on the operational level.
• Option (d) combination the options b and c in one instrument:o Real chance to increase the attractiveness of IWT professions and to remove barriers to the
professiono Positive impact on safety, mobility of workers and trainees in IWT, consequently on SMEs and the
competitiveness of the sectoro As a result economic impacts would be visible, also due to climate-friendly IWTo boosting economic activity in the sector, would also have positive effects for the climate policy
