Overview

Background & policy context:

European integration has seen dramatic changes in mobility patterns to meet developments in economic activities. However, the statistical tools to monitor these patterns and support policy-making have changed little. In particular, there is a lack of data on international flows, Trans-European Networks, new logistic services, transport chains and intermodality. Moreover, data availability has decreased due to deregulation and the abolition of border controls.

Objectives:

INFOSTAT aimed to prepare the framework of statistics for a European Transport policy Information System (ETIS). ETIS is intended to support decision-makers in both public and private sectors, in understanding changes in mobility, logistic patterns and the effects of policy measures.
