1. 1 Belgrade report – Transport Meeting with the Working GRoup on Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Geneva 28 November 2006 Jan Karlsson

2. 2 Main message (1) Total transport work increases in all pan-European regions.

3. 3 Figure 1: Average annual change in freight transport demand in Europe over the '90s

4. 4 Main message (1) Total transport work increases in all pan-European regions. In at least SEE countries we see the same tendency as in the NWE countries – a clear dominance of road transport

5. 5 Figure 4: Modal shares in passenger transport in Europe

6. 6 Main message (1) Total transport work increases in all pan-European regions. In EECCA countries and in SEE countries we see the same tendency as was in the NWE countries – a clear dominance of road transport Emissions of GHGs, poor air quality, noise problems and other environmental problems linked to transport increase.

7. 7 Main message (2) Technical solutions common in NWE are not yet implemented in the EECCA countries and SEE countries More fuel efficient cars Abatement technologies on vehicles

9. 9 Main message (2) Technical solutions common in NWE are not yet implemented in the EECCA countries and SEE countries More fuel efficient cars Abatement technologies on vehicles Total out phasing of leaded petrol Low sulphur fuels

10. 10 Main message (3) Transport safety has not improved in a similar way as in NWE.

12. 12 Some questions (1) Are the main issues as presented in the abstract clear and relevant? The modal share of road transport in EECCA is so low that it appears data on this topic is not comparable to data from SEE and NWE. Are there any information to either validate or invalidate this? Data on vehicle fleet age?

13. 13 Some questions (2) Transport safety does not seem to improve in the EECCA region. Are there initiatives to address this? Are there information regarding average energy consumption/CO2 emission of passenger cars produced in SEE or EECCA region? Are there information on sulphur content in fuels in EECCA and SEE countries? Are there information on adoption of vehicle emissions standards?
