(24) In order to provide minimum harmonised standards for the certification of qualifications and to facilitate the exchange of information between Member States and the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of this Directive by the Commission, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission as regards the setting of standards of competence, standards for medical fitness, standards for practical examinations, standards for the approval of simulators and standards defining the characteristics and conditions of use for a database kept by the Commission to host a copy of key data related to Union certificates of qualifications, service record books, logbooks and recognised documents. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriatextensive consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission when preparing and drawing up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and to the Council.

Recital 27
Recital 27
(27) Since the objective of this Directive, namely establishing a common framework on the recognition of minimum professional qualifications in inland navigation, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of its scale and effects, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union and respecting willingness of the Member States to cooperate. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.
