Cefic Pan-European Public Opinion Survey (PES) 2010 Perception of Transportation of Chemicals • 11 countries / 1,000 people in each country • 81% coverage of EU27 population

Public perception of chemical transport is better than general chemical industry image Majority of people recognize the need for transport and agree that most transport companies show a responsible behaviour There is low awareness of industry transport safety initiatives Most important concerns: safety / accidents / hazardous products Public perception is better in North Europe than in South Europe Rail transport is the preferred transport mode
