Transport represents a crucial sector of the economy. This publication provides an overview of the most recent and most pertinent annual transport-related statistics in Europe. It covers the European Union and its 28 Member States and, as far as possible, the current EU candidate countries and the EFTA countries. The content of 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 and should by no means be (mis-)interpreted as ‘official’ data. The publication consists of three parts: (1) a general part with general economic and other relevant data, (2) a transport part covering both passenger and freight transport as well as other transport-related data, and, finally, (3) an energy and environmental part with data on the impact which the transport sector has on the environment. Most of the tables have data up to 2014; where available, more recent data have been provided. The tables of this pocketbook may also be found on the Europa site at: http://ec.europa.eu/transport/facts-fundings/statistics/index_en.htm Many tables on the internet contain more data than could be presented in this pocketbook. Some tables may be updated on the web before the publication of the next paper version. Eurostat, the main data provider, may be accessed directly on the internet at: http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/ (Author/publisher)
