Inland Navigation Parliamentary Group

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The parliamentary group inland navigation, PGBi of the German Bundestag exists since the 13th legislative period .

The main objective of the group is to develop the federal waterways to promote inland navigation. The PG inland navigation is thus one of two parliamentary groups in the German Bundestag that deals with inland navigation. In contrast to the parliamentary group Free Flowing Rivers , the PG inland navigation does not conduct any public relations work. Her focus is on lobbying with associations at German and European level. The PG inland navigation differs from the PG free-flowing rivers mainly in the requirement for an expansion of the Danube with barrages .

In the 19th legislative period of the German Bundestag there are 44 members of the PG inland navigation. The spokesmen for the cross-party group are Eckhard Pols (CDU / CSU), Mathias Stein (SPD) (also coordinator of the group), Andreas Mrosek (AfD), Bernd Reuther (FDP), Jörg Cezanne (left), Claudia Müller (Greens). In July 2019, at the invitation of the Federal Association of German Inland Shipping eV (BDB) and the Lower Rhine Chamber of Commerce and Industry , the members of the Bundestag traveled to Duisburg, the European inland shipping capital, to get an impression of the waterway infrastructure on site.
