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

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
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

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

10
Main message (3)

• Transport safety has not improved in a similar
  way as in NWE.

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
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?
