                          • Explanatory Memorandum
1 • In the framework of the common transport policy and of regional policy , the
    Commission needs "basic information on the transport of goods by the various
    modes of transport .
2 . Whereas important progress has "been made in relation to the carriage of
    goods by road with the Council Directive of 12 June 1978 ( 78/546/EEC ) the
    existing information available for rail is insufficiently harmonised to be
    used at Community level for policy purposes .
3 . The proposal therefore provides for the collection of statistical informa­
    tion on international , national and regional traffic flows , to complement
    the supply of information in respect of transport of goods by road . Some
    of the more basic information will be provided on a monthly basis , in order
    to facilitate the operation of a system of Market Observation by EG VII .
4 . In addition, information is required on container traffic and rail/road
    traffic in view of the present growth and future importance of combined
    transport .

       on statistical returns in respect of carriage of goods "by rail ,

THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
Having regard to 'the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and
in particular Article 213 thereof ,
Having regard to the draft Directive submitted by the Commission ,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament ( l ),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee ( 2 ),
Whereas , in order to carry out the tasks entrusted to it under the Treaty , the
Commission must have at its disposal coherent , synchronised and regular sta­
tistical data on the scale and development of the carriage of goods by rail in
the Member States ; whereas these data must be comparable both as between
States and also with the data for other modes of transport and must refer to
national , international and transit traffic ;
Whereas , in view of the economic and environmental advantages of combined
rail/road transport , the statistical data should distinguish separately ^,
such traffic ;
Whereas , in order to permit adequate observation of the market for the carriage
of goods by rail , such statistical data should distinguish separately traffic

  Whereas , in view of the limited significance on the Community transport mar­
  ket , Member States with railway networks other than the main network , should
  provide only simplified statistical data in respect of such other networks ;
  Whereas the statistics already available in the different Member States on
  goods traffic should be further harmonised at Community level , in order to
  serve as a valid basis for the work of the Commission;
 Whereas , in order to facilitate the implementation of the proposed provisions ,
  certain time* limits should be laid down for providing the necessary statisti – .
  cal information;
 Whereas the Commission must submit a report , in order to enable the Couficil
                                                                      I
  to examine the extent to which the statistical data submitted can help achieve
  the objectives of this Directive ; whereas , it must envisage the possibility of
 proposing amendments to the methods used , where appropriate , and also of pro–
%                           i
 posing regional statistics of international traffic and statistics of full
 train loads ;
                                               ι
 Whereas statistical data are essential for knowledge of the scale and develop­
  ment of transport ; whereas the Community considers it appropriate to make ,
  for an initial period, a financial contribution in respect of the work
  involved ;
 HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE :
