Page 3 Why Co-operative Systems? Transport is essential to Europe’s prosperity EU transport sector: 11% of GDP 15 million jobs 13% of household spending It is an important industry and makes a major contribution to the functioning of the European economy as a whole Road transport: 44% of Freight 85% of Passengers Annual growth rates: 2.3 % of Freight 1.9 % Passengers European Transport Policy aims to provide safe and efficient mobility for our continent while respecting the environment

Page 4 Why Co-operative Systems? Challenges at EU Level Congestion Represents a loss of 1% GDP yearly 10% of road network daily congested Energy Efficiency & Emissions about 12% of the overall EU CO 2 emissions coming from the fuel consumed by passenger cars. While the EU reduced CO 2 emissions by 5% ( ), the CO 2 emissions from road transport have increased by 26% Safety deaths on the roads (EU ) 1.7 million injured persons (EU ) Human error is involved in 93% of the accidents
