Energy and transport are two crucial sectors of the economy. This publication provides an overview of the most recent and most pertinent annual energy- and transport-related statistics in Europe. It covers the European Union and its 27 Member States, and, as far as possible, the current EU candidate countries and the EFTA countries Iceland, Norway and Switzerland. This pocketbook is based on a range of sources including Eurostat, international organisations, national statistics and, where no data were available, own estimates. Own estimates have mainly been produced to get an idea of the EU total. At the level of individual countries, they are merely indicative. The publication consists of four parts: (1) a general part with general economic and other relevant data, (2) an energy part with data mostly on energy production and consumption including taxation, prices and a world context presentation, (3) a transport part covering both passenger and freight transport as well as other transport-related data and, finally, (4) an environmental part with data on the impact which the energy and transport sectors have on the environment. Most of the tables have data up to 2005; where available, more recent data have been provided. The tables of this pocketbook may also be found on the Europa internet site under http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/energy_transport/figures/index_en.htm (Author/publisher)
