Work Programme 2012 (1)

Fields of activities covered by the Transport theme Commercial transport of goods and passengers in all modes where this

activity is significant: road freight, rail (goods and passengers), inland waterways (goods), sea (goods and passengers), air (passengers, freight and mail), and pipelines (specific goods)

Measurement of traffic, in particular for road vehicles Infrastructures and means of transport (vehicles) at national and regional

level Enterprises and employment in the transport sector at national level Accidents, fatalities, injured people and release of dangerous goods in

the transport sector Intermodal transport, congestion, logistics performance Impact on the environment, in particular on climate change Transport indicators (modal split; structural, sustainable development,

globalisation, environment)

European Statistical Programme 2013-2017

Article 13.1 of the Regulation No. 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on European statistics “the European Statistical Programme shall provide the framework for the development, production and dissemination of European statistics, the main fields and objectives of the actions envisaged for a period not exceeding five years”

In 2010 Eurostat started the preparation of the European Statistical Programme (ESP) 2013-2017

The main objectives of the ESP are the following: Provide quality statistical information to support the development,

monitoring and evaluation of the policies of the European Union Implement the new method of production of European statistic Strengthen the partnership within the ESS and beyond.

Consultation with DG MOVE

Consultation for the preparation of the 2013 Statistical Work Programme

Statistical needs Regular data production Regulation on the collection of data on the volume of road traffic Modal split indicators by distance classes Production of a first set of indicators on emission from transport Statistics on urban mobility Statistics on multimodality

12

Hearing with DG MOVE

Meeting held in Brussels on 30 September Actions

Road - Continue collaboration to provide data on cabotage Rail – Impact of the proposal to simplify the Regulation Maritime

• Collaboration with EMSA• e-Maritime

Road traffic – Methodological study to give recommendations on the methods to be used for the traffic performance measurement

Modal split indicators by distance classes for freight and passengers – Eurostat will analyse the current situation

13

E6 strategy for the future (1)

E6 - from the stove pipe production approach to the production of integrated Transport Statistics

Transport statistics a supporting vector for economy and trade policy requests for statistics were satisfied with individual

legal processes + two voluntary data collections recently, Transport statistics is needed to combat or limit

the undesirable impacts of growing mobility of passengers and goods: on safety, on congestion, on the environment

14

E6 strategy for the future (2)

Historical evolution Modal split indicators [01/2004] First attempt to produce Intermodal data [02/2004] TRIS 1 [04/2007] - re-engineering of the production processes TRIS 2 [07/2009] - creation of a cooperative validation environment with

member countries 2009

Eurostat’ vision Emerging policy needs

Emissions in the Transport sector [11/2009] Transport safety [01/2010] Intermodal - second attempt [01/2010]

15

E6 strategy for the future (3) The future

Transport safety - re-using data collected by DG MOVE, ERA, EMSA and EASA

Intermodal transport statistics and logistics performance indicators

Road traffic measurement, hence emissions from the road sector,

Maritime vessels central database, hence emissions from the maritime sector (in collaboration with EMSA)

Evolution of TRIS Passenger mobility statistics, exploiting modern technologies

(GPS, GSM) Further simplifications and harmonisation

• Legislative• Use of “e” administrative sources• Harmonisation of definitions
