Take advantage of high-quality transport safety data collected by the European Commission’s specialised transport safety agencies and disseminate via Eurostat’s reference database

3. New data sources Horizontal topic: 4 modes are concerned:
Rail - taking advantage of detailed EUAR data
Road – use detailed data available in the CARE database
Air – detailed data on accidents and accident victims from EASA
Maritime – exploit data stemming from EMCIP (European Marine Casualty Information Platform) maintained by EMSA

4. Background work Working group with DG MOVE(A3)/Eurostat/EUAR

5. Rail accidents data
For Rail accidents were collected with Annex H of Regulation 91/2003
Annex H does not exist in the amended Rail Regulation
An Administrative Agreement was signed with EUAR to provide Eurostat with the required rail accident data
As Turkey is not member of EUAR, they will still send accident data to Eurostat
