This report essentially describes the situation of the transport sector in Europe in 1985 and, with the help of charts, shows the changes that have occurred since 1970. The assessment of recent trends in Europe has been based on data provided by Member countries of the ECMT. The volume of traffic has been calculated on the basis of statistics for passenger-kilometres and tonne-kilometres. In order to base the overall trends on as many countries as possible, the indices used for several charts include estimates of traffic where 1985 figures were not available for certain countries.
