In 2015, the Central Commission for the Navigation of the Rhine (CCNR) created at its plenary session the European committee for drawing up common standards in the field of inland navigation (Cornite Europeen pour l'Elaboration de Standards dans le Domaine de Navigation Interieure - CESNI). The mission of the new body is to prepare and adopt technical standards in a variety of fields on inland navigation, and unify their standards for all EU countries. 26th November 2015 CES NI adopted the first resolution - European Standard laying down Techni­cal Requirements for Inland Navigation vessels (ES-TRIN). The document adopts in a standardised way the requirements contained in directive 2006/87 /EC and in the Rhine Vessel Inspection Regu­lations. At the moment, ES-TRIN is not binding per se, by the time it will be referred in legal frameworks EU Member States. For this paper, the most important chapters of Directive 2006/87 /EC and ES-TRIN concern engine design (chapter 8) and emissions of gaseous and particulate pollutants from diesel engines. It is worth to say that both documents has got the same regulations.
