Developments in the Community transport policy and their statistical implications Working Party on Transport Statistics – UNECE 14-16 may 2012
Outline White Paper on Transport 2011: main statistical implications Data needs on Alternative Motor Fuels (AMF) vehicles The EU2020 strategy and the European semester DG MOVE initiatives in the area of statistics
White Paper 2011 • Roadmap to a Single European Transport Area: towards a competitive and resource efficient transport system • Adopted at the end of March 2011 • It sets the strategy of the European Commission on transport policy for the next decade
White Paper: main statistical implication and future needs • 10 Goals - monitoring: • necessary to have indicators on modal split (by distance classes) for both freights and passenger transport. • Transport emissions more and more relevant for policy purposes: • need to improve the availability of detailed data on emissions (urban vs interurban, passenger vs freight). • Need to monitor developments in the urban areas: data on urban mobility.
Data needs on Alternative Motor Fuels (AMF) vehicles • Policy background • White Paper on transport – objective 1: Halve the use of ‘conventionally-fuelled’ cars in urban transport by 2030; phase them out in cities by 2050 • Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council and the European Economic and Social Committee - A European strategy on clean and energy efficient vehicles COM(2010)186 final of 28.4.2010 • Data needed (at least initiallylimited to road vehicles) • Stock and new registrations of vehicles (by kind of vehicle and fuel - includingdetail on AMF) • Number and location of AMF fuelling charging stations
The Europe 2020 strategy and the European semester • Need to substantiate political analysis on countries with statistical evidence • Strong accent on the role of transport in economic growth. • Data which would be needed and which are currently not or partially available: • investment in transport infrastructure by mode • degree on opening in transport markets • logistic costs for the business sector • Indicators on accessibility
DG MOVE initiatives in the area of statistics • Road safety: CARE database • Statistical Pocketbook - Transport in figures (2011 edition now online) • http://ec.europa.eu/transport/publications/statistics/pocketbook-2011_en.htm • Observatory on transalpine traffic (2010 edition now online) • http://ec.europa.eu/transport/road/doc/2010_12_annual_report_observation_trafics.pdf • Study on urban transport statistics: inputs for future data collection at EU level. Still ongoing.
