The main aim of this pocket book is to provide energy and transport statistics for the EU Member States in a user-friendly format. Most of the data cover the period 1970-2001. The pocket book is based on a range of sources, including Eurostat, international organisations, national statistics, studies, and where no data are available, estimates. Data are provided on general socioeconomic background, fuel consumption, imports of coal, oil and gas, energy taxation, electricity generation (including renewable resources), energy prices, energy balance, transport growth, employment in transport, infrastructure, motorisation, vehicle registrations, other means of transport, goods transport (road and sea), passenger transport (public and private), carbon dioxide emissions and oil spills at sea. Data are given on EU countries, and where available, other European Economic Area countries, Switzerland, European Union Acceding Countries, European Union Candidate Countries, and the USA and Japan. The tables in this book may be found on the Europa internet site at http://europa.eu.int/comm/energy_transport/etif/index.html.
