10 European Statistical Programme 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) 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.

11 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
