(2) It is necessary to ensure a reasonable level of quality in the information disseminated and the maintenance of existing statistical series. (3) It is necessary to make certain data available to Member States in order to complete the statistical coverage of road transport at national level. (4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion delivered by the Statistical Programme Committee, Whereas: HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:







Article 1

The individual data records transmitted to the Commission (Eurostat) by Member States in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1172/98 shall be used to compile statistical tables containing aggregated values obtained by summation of the underlying data. The Commission (Eurostat) shall disseminate the resulting statistical tables in accordance with the provisions laid down in Articles 2 and 3.

Article 2

The dissemination shall be authorised for the statistical tables listed in the Annex.

Article 3

1. Dissemination of tables to users other than the national authorities of Member States shall be subject to the condition that each cell shall be based on at least 10 vehicle records depending on the variable tabulated. Where a cell is based on fewer than 10 vehicle records, it shall be aggregated with other cells, or replaced with a suitable flag. Tables referred to under point A of the Annex shall be excluded from this rule.

2. Tables including aggregated values based on fewer than 10 vehicle records may be supplied to national authorities responsible for Community transport statistics in Member States, on condition that the national authorities apply the condition set out in paragraph 1 to any tables disseminated to other users.

Article 4

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

ANNEX

LIST OF TABLES FOR DISSEMINATION

A. Continuity of existing tables

In order to maintain continuity, the existing tables may be disseminated by the Commission (Eurostat).

B. Main tables

The following set of tables and subsets thereof may be disseminated.







Table Description Note 1 Reference period Units Note 2 Notes B1 Summary of activity by type of operation and type of transport Year, quarter 1 000 t Million tonne-km Vehicle-km Note 3 B2 Transport, by type of operation Year, quarter 1 000 t Million tonne-km Note 3 B3 Transport, by type of goods Year 1 000 t Million tonne-km B4.1 International transport, by country of loading and unloading (total of all reporting countries) Year 1 000 t Million tonne-km B4.2 As for Table B4.1, but with additional breakdown by type of goods. Year 1 000 t Million tonne-km B4.3 International transport, by country of loading and unloading (with breakdown by reporting country) Year 1 000 t Million tonne-km B4.4 As for Table B4.3, but with additional breakdown by type of goods. Year 1 000 t Million tonne-km B5.1 Transport, by region of loading Year 1 000 t Million tonne-km Movements Note 4 B5.2 Transport, by region of unloading Year 1 000 t Million tonne-km Movements Note 4 B6.1 Transport, by distance class Year 1 000 t Million tonne-km Million vehicle-km Movements B6.2 As for Table B6.1, but with additional breakdown by type of goods Year 1 000 t Million tonne-km Million vehicle-km Movements B7 Transport, by axle configuration Year Million tonne-km Million vehicle-km Movements B8 Transport, by age of vehicle Year Million tonne-km Million vehicle-km Movements B9 Transport, by maximum permissible weight of vehicle Year Million tonne-km Million vehicle-km Movements B10 Transport, by load capacity of vehicle Year Million tonne-km Million vehicle-km Movements B11 Transport, by NACE branch Year Million tonne-km Million vehicle-km Movements B12 Vehicle movements, laden and empty Year Million vehicle-km Movements B13.1 Transit vehicle movements, by transit country, by loaded/empty and by maximum permissible weight of vehicle (total of all reporting countries) Year, quarter 1 000 t Movements B13.2 Transit vehicle movements, by transit country (with breakdown by reporting country) Year 1 000 t Movements B14 Transport of dangerous goods, by type of dangerous goods Year Million tonne-km Million vehicle-km Movements B15 Transport, by type of cargo Year Million tonne-km Million vehicle-km Movements B16 Transport, by type of cargo and distance class Year 1 000 t Million tonne-km Million vehicle-km Movements B17 National transport by region of loading and unloading, by reporting country Year 1 000 t Million tonne-km Movements Note 5 B18 International transport by region of loading and unloading, total of all reporting countries Year 1 000 t Million tonne-km Movements Note 6 Note 1: Except where otherwise stated, the tables include a breakdown by reporting country. Note 2: The following measures are calculated internally for all tables: 1 000 t Million tonne-km Million vehicle-km (laden, empty) Movements (laden, empty) Number of vehicle records used to calculate the table cell This column indicates the measures that will normally be offered to users. Other measures and units may be disseminated, if requested by users. According to users’ needs, the tables may be based on journey related variables (information from A2 data sets) or on goods related operations (information from A3 data sets) (see Regulation (EC) No 1172/98). Movements would therefore be labelled either as number of journeys or as number of basic transport operations. Transit movements would be labelled as such. Note 3: Type of operation is broken down as follows: National journey: places of loading and unloading, both in reporting country International journey: places of loading or unloading, or both, in countries other than the reporting country (= sum of the four following categories) (of which) outward (goods loaded in reporting country): journey starts in reporting country, ends elsewhere inward (goods unloaded in reporting country): journey starts elsewhere, ends in reporting country cross-trade: journey between two countries other than the reporting country cabotage: journey between places within a country other than the reporting country. Note 4: Data by loading or unloading region are published at NUTS-3 level. Note 5: For national transport, loading and unloading places are published at NUTS-2 level. Note 6: For international transport, loading and unloading places are published at NUTS-1 level.

C. Tables on cabotage

In order to provide information on cabotage equivalent to that available under Council Regulation (EEC) No 3118/93 ( 2 ), the following set of tables and subsets of these tables may be disseminated:







Description Period Unit C1 Cabotage performed by hauliers from each reporting country, by reporting country Year 1 000 t Million tonne-km C2 Cabotage performed by hauliers from all reporting countries, by country in which cabotage takes place Year 1 000 t Million tonne-km C3 Cabotage by reporting country and by country in which cabotage takes place Year 1 000 t Million tonne-km

D. Tables for national authorities of Member States

In order to enable the national authorities of Member States other than the reporting country to compile complete statistics on road transport operations on their national territory, the following aggregated data files may be supplied to national authorities:
