In dat document:
On 15 April 1988, France accepted resolution No. 13, revised, concerning the international certificate for pleasure craft. When the directives were given to the supervisory commissions for the issue of international certificates in conformity with the provisions of resolution No. 13, revised, it was stipulated that these provisions were applicable only to small inland navigation vessels, designed for normal pleasure trips, to the exclusion of passenger vessels carrying 12 or more passengers, former cargo vessels no longer in service, the interiors of which have been converted into houseboat accommodation but which, because of their dimensions, cannot be considered to be standard pleasure craft, and high-speed sports boats.
As a result, pleasure craft of a maximum length of 15 m, carrying fewer than 15 persons, and designed to travel normally at speeds of less than 20 km/h, referred to as “narrowboats”, may travel freely on the inland waterways of the zone defined in the Ministerial decree of 17 March 1988, if they carry the international certificate for pleasure craft on inland waterways, issued in conformity with the provisions of resolution No. 13, revised, by any State which has accepted the said resolution.
The authorities competent to issue this certificate will be the chairs of the shipping supervisory
commissions.
The competent French authorities will implement this resolution on French inland waterways only.
The certificate should therefore specify “inland waterways” (“Inland waterways” means rivers and canals, except for the Rhine and the Mosel).
Where offshore waters are concerned, however, the documents referred to in the maritime conventions or in bilateral agreements will continue to be required (basically, the proof that a vessel has a right to fly the flag of the flag State). These documents are also recognized as valid on inland waters.
