Panorama of transport - Statistical overview of transport in the EU – Data 1970-2001 – Part 2 - Products Statistical Books

The Panorama of Transport sets out to describe, via annual statistics, the most important features of transport in the European Union. This publication describes transport not only in terms of the quantities of freight and passengers moved and the vehicles and infrastructure used, but also as part of the economy, the environment and health, as a factor in our quality of life. This fourth edition of the Panorama puts a special emphasis on the latest road freight transport statistics collected under the recent EU regulation; it also gives a first overview of available data on the ten acceding countries and the remaining candidate countries. Furthermore, certain chapters of this edition include information on the EFTA states. As most of the data used for this publication have been extracted from the Eurostat database during the second and third quarter of 2003, and as there is a need of good data coverage among all the EU countries, the year 2001 is in most cases the most recent year for which data were available.
