(22a) Council Directive 2014/112/EU1a and this Directive need to be complemented with Union legislation on both the introduction of electronic tools and on harmonisation of the crewing requirements in order to ensure a level playing field for the Union inland waterway labour market covering working and resting time, professional qualifications and crewing requirements. The Commission should therefore, after the adoption of this Directive, present, if appropriate, a proposal to the European Parliament and to the Council establishing a Union legal framework for a transparent, flexible and sustainable crewing system. This should be done, after conducting an impact assessment, taking into account technological and non-technological changes that have an impact on workload on board of vessels. __________________ 1a Council Directive 2014/112/EU of 19 December 2014 implementing the European Agreement concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time in inland waterway transport, concluded by the European Barge Union (EBU), the European Skippers Organisation (ESO) and the European Transport Workers' Federation (ETF) Text with EEA relevance (OJ L 367, 23.12.2014, p. 86)
