3. EU road freight statistics
Used for monitoring
the transport intensity of the EU economy (“structural indicators”),
the Common market,
the share of different transport modes (“modal split”),
regional development,
infrastructure bottlenecks (trans-European transport networks).
Based on
sample surveys respecting Council regulation (EC) 1172/98.

10. Conclusion
Road freight statistics are needed in monitoring the EU transport and regional policies.
Eurostat receives micro-data on individual consignments of heavy goods vehicles in the sample.
Reporting countries receive “anonymised micro-data” in data exchange tables.
Data exchange tables should fulfil most researchers’ data needs, not already fulfilled by regular dissemination tables.
