Recital 8 a (new)
(8a) A Member State, in whose territory the professions referred to in this Directive are not exercised, due to the fact that there are no inland waterways, or inland navigation is not used to a significant extent but only in limited journeys of purely local interest or temporally (meaning less than half a year) would be under a disproportionate and unnecessary burden if it had the obligations to transpose and implement the provisions of this Directive. Therefore, such Member State should be exempted, for as long as the professions do not exist on its territory, from those obligations.
