This pocketbook provides facts and figures on energy, transport and the environment in a single volume. This is the first edition of the pocketbook following the accession of 10 new Member States and this is reflected in the tables and graphs. In most cases, national data for the 25 EU Member States, EFTA countries and the three remaining candidate countries are presented. Where aggregated data for the 15 old EU Member States and for the 25 EU Member States are available, these are presented for the period from 1991 to 2001 (for transport, mainly six-year period up to 2001). The pocketbook is composed of three chapters of selected key indicators for Energy, Transport and Environment. The energy chapter covers energy supply and dependency, final energy consumption, energy efficiency, energy prices, renewable energy sources and the structure of the energy industry. The Transport indicators cover transport infrastructure and equipment, transport of passengers and freight and road safety. The environment chapter looks at emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants, which are particularly relevant for energy and transport. But other environmental indicators are included, covering water and waste. The main data sources for the indicators are the standard Energy and Transport Statistics collected by Eurostat, although other data sources have also been used. The bulk of data on emissions have been provided by the European Environment Agency.
