D5 Annex WP 3: DATABASE METHODOLOGY AND DATABASE USER MANUAL – FREIGHT TRANSPORT DEMAND 5.4 Remaining data gaps From the data collection process it becomes clear that not all data is available that is needed in an ideal situation. In this section the gaps between the needed data and the available data is described together with the consequences that follow from these gaps. 5.4.1 Data available at Eurostat not available for the ETIS project In order to build for instance a regiontoregion freight O/D matrix data is required on a regional level. Regional data is available in New Cronos from Eurostat, but this data has limited detail. Since the Member States deliver region to region transport data (for road transport) to Eurostat, a request has been made to Eurostat to ask for this data. Due to restrictions in the statistical law, Eurostat is not allowed to provide the data for use in the ETIS project. In response it has been attempted to collect these data from the Member States. Some Member States have delivered the data where others reply that the data has already been delivered to Eurostat and therefore does not have to be delivered again tot the European Commission. This illustrates that in some cases more structural organisational changes are needed for the data collection by the European Commission. During the second open conference of ETIS Eurostat has noted this problem and will discuss with the Member states what would be possible solutions. Since it is likely that the international road transport on region to region level (NUTS3) will not be made available in time to be used for the for the ETIS pilot by Eurostat, the international region to region transport flows on NUTS2 level will be estimated. 5.4.2 Registration of mode of transport for intraEU trade becomes optional in Eurostat trade statistics For the year 2000, the variable mode of transport is still included in the Comext trade by mode data (from Eurostat). From 1 January 2001, this variable will be still included in the data, but the variable will be less reliable. The reason for this is that the collection of mode of transport in intraEU trade has become optional for Member States and applies only to those providers above a certain threshold. This has consequences for a future update of the ETIS reference database. 5.4.3 Transhipment data of seaports and inland terminals In the data collection process it became clear that transhipment data is very dispersed. For transhipment in seaports data is available, for transhipment at inland terminals data is not available or only on a very aggregate level. Since methods to fill this data gap are complex and very time consuming to develop, it has been decided to leave transhipment at inland terminals out of the freight O/D matrix. 40 Document2 27 May 2004
D5 Annex WP 3: DATABASE METHODOLOGY AND DATABASE USER MANUAL – FREIGHT TRANSPORT DEMAND 5.4.4 Data availability in the accession countries Since these countries have become member of the EU from May 2004, the collection of data in these countries will change since they have to apply the Eurostat directives. In ETIS a repeatable method has to be developed, therefore it makes no sense to spend a lot of time and budget in using the available data for the accession countries and apply and develop methods and models to fill the data gaps while it is known that the data situation in these countries will change significantly in the near future. The data collection process in the accession countries was very time consuming, it is a hard job to get in contact with the right persons at the different institutes, data is not available on the required level of detail and limited response has been received. Because of these reasons it has been decided to make use of a combination of results from the ‘Traffic Forecast of the Ten PanEuropean Transport Corridors of Helsinki’ project, the INTERMODA project, NEAC, the TENSTAC project, UN data and data already available for the accession countries to estimate the transport flows within and in relation with the accession countries. Once the Eurostat directives are applied in the accession countries the same methodology as for the current EU countries can be applied in order to build the freight O/D matrix.
