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.

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:

1000 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 — 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.
