COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
C0I1C79) 743 final Brussels, 18 January 1980
COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
on statistical returns in respect of carriage of goods by rail, as
part of regional statistics
(submitted to the Council by the Commission)
C0M(79) 743 final
' v • 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. v
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 DG 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.
COUNCIL DIRECTIVE
on statistical returns in respect of carriage of goods "by rail, as part of regional statistics
THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
Having regard to t;he 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 ,
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 statistical 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
i
on the main traffic relations;
(1) O.J
(2) O.J
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 • . • . 1 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—
% > ' posing regional statistics of international traffic and statistics of full
train loads; ' - '
- * • • •
Whereas statistical data are essential for knowledge of the scale and development of transport; whereas the Community considers it appropriate to make, for an initial period, a financial contribution in respect of the work involved; . '

1. Relevant "budget heading s ’ '
a) Number : Article 264 .
"b) Title : Statistical studies and surveys . /
c) Title of project : Draft Council Directive on statistical returns in respect of carriage of goods "by rail as part of regional statistics. '
2. Legal "basis : Article 213 of the Treaty. This Directive is intended to complete the statistical information envisaged "by directive 78/546/EEC of the Council on statistical returns in respect of carriage of goods by road as part of regional statistics.
3. Description of the projeot : ,
a) objectives : the collection of synchronised and regular statistics on the carriage of goods by rail in the Member States;
b) persons concerned : the national governmental and railway administrations . in the Member States will be responsible for the collection of the sta—
tistics.
c) , other details : a Council Directive on statistical returns in respect of
the carriage of goods by road was approved in June 1978 (78/546/EEC); a draft Council Directive on statistical returns in respect of carriage of goods by inland waterway is being proposed at this time.
4. Justification of project : the further harmonisation at Community level of
statistics of rail goods traffic, both national and international, on a quarterly and annual basis, is essential for the development of a common transport policy and can only be achieved by means of a directive. .
5. 'Financial implication of project on intervention appropriations :
5.1 Project of limited duration : . .
EUA 300 000 x 3 years ' EUA 900 000. ' ,
5.2 Community finance will be a partial contribution to the annual oost in
the first three years and will then termihate. .

5.3.2 Method of calculation : approximately 33% for the inital pro— graroming costs in 1980; and the remainder to be shared in ' proportion to the number of documents to be processed in respect of the movement- of loaded railway wagons.
6. Financial implications on appropriations for staff and routine administration - NIL. ‘ x
7. Financing from intervention expenditure : .
7.1 Current budget : partial reallocation of budget : since 1962 yearly finance has been‘provided for 6 Member States to conduct annual surveys of : , .
(i) NST statistics of goods transport by inland waterway, rail and
road (21 550 EUA in 1979) and .
\
(ii) regional statistics (93 170 EUA. in 1979).
These annual payments can be terminated and the funds otherwise required on a continuing basis can be transferred to provide the financial contributions for 1980, 1981 and 1982, when this proposal (together with the proposal for inland waterway statistics) is accepted.
7*2 Future appropriations will be necessary for 1981 and 1982.
8. Possible implications on resources : N.A.
9, Itype of control to be applied :
9*1 a) normal control over statistical surveys conducted by the national administrations;
b) control by the Commission through the reports on methods vised, to
be transmitted by the Member States before 31 December 1979 (article 4 para, 1 of the proposal);
c) yearly control by the Commission and Member States representatives (article 4 para. 2 of the proposal), ~
9.2 Report from the Commission to the Council before 1 January 1983 on
experience gained and improvements to be made where necessary (article 5 para, 2 and 3 of the proposal).
