Die vorliegende Analyse faßt die Schlußfolgerungen des ersten auf TERM (Transport and Environment Reporting Mechanism)-Indikatoren basierenden Berichts zusammen. Es werden sieben Fragen angesprochen, die von den politischen Entscheidungsträgern in der EU als entscheidende Kriterien betrachtet werden, wenn man feststellen will, ob die gegenwärtigen politischen Maßnahmen und Instrumente die Wechselwirkung von Verkehr und Umwelt im Hinblick auf die Nachhaltigkeit beeinflussenObwohl der Lagebericht sich hauptsächlich auf Entwicklungen auf EU-Ebene konzentrierte, lassen sich wichtige Erkenntnisse auch durch einen Vergleich der Entwicklungen auf einzelstaatlicher Ebene gewinnen, da sich daraus nützliche Informationen über die Wirksamkeit politischer Maßnahmen ableiten lassen. TERM soll für diesen Zweck zu einem Instrument für die Erfolgsbeurteilung ("Benchmarking") weiterentwickelt werden.[Urheber s. copyright]

Themes: description and selection of 31 indicators benchmarked against a number of policy objectives and targets. The indicators address the transport sector's overall development and environmental impacts ( environmental consequences of transport).To help EU and Member States, to monitor the progress with their transport integration strategies, to identify changes in the key leverage points for policy intervention, to make results accountable to society, to help the transport sector become more eco-efficient.[Author vide copyright]

This, the third of the European Environment Agency's Environmental signals reports - Benchmarking the Millennium, provides an insight into the state of Europe's environment and is targeted at high-level policy makers in EEA member countries and the European Union, as well as the wider public. The publication of this report demonstrates that the annual routine of reporting on the state of the environment, and above all the progress that has been made, is now well established.[Author vide copyright]

Progress towards a more sustainable transport system has become imperative in the European Union (EU), as in many other parts of the world. Transport therefore figures prominently in the EU's Sixth environment Action programme (6EAP) and Sustainable Development Strategy. At its June 2001 summit in Gothenburg, the European Council singled out the transport sector as one of the four priority areas where sustainability policy development has to be put on a faster track. Achieving progress requires better integration of environmental considerations into all areas of transport policy-making. Equally important is to get a clear and quantitative picture of the sector and its development.[Author vide copyright]

This third report developed under the EU's transport and environment reporting mechanism (TERM) is the first to include the 13 accession countries (ACs). As in previous reports, the TERM indicators are used to answer a set of policy questions related to the integration of environmental concerns into transport policies. This comparative analysis of the differences and similarities between the EU and the ACs should contribute to the continuing debate on how to achieve more sustainable transport within an enlarged EU.[Urheber s. copyright]

Transport volumes are growing at a rate where many of the improvements brought about by new technology are being partly or fully negated. Emissions of harmful pollutants are decreasing steadily, but there are indications that the test cycles, on which the emissions are calculated, fail to represent real world driving conditions. Therefore air quality is not improving as would be expected from the emission figures. The TERM 2004 report looks at trends in transport emissions and other transport impacts over the decade from the early 1990s to the early 2000s.[Author vide copyright]

This report represents a summary of 10 selected issues from the EEA's TERM (transport and environment reporting mechanism) set of transport and environment integration indicators.The objective is to indicate some of the main challenges to reducing the environmental impacts of transport, and to make suggestions for improving the environmental performance of the transport system as a whole. The report examines 10 key issues which need to be addressed in the coming years. These issues are derived from seven policy questions that form the backbone of TERM. As with previous TERM reports, this report evaluates the indicator trends in terms of progress towards existing objectives and targets. This is carried out using EU policy documents and various transport and environmental directives..[Author vide copyright]

The TERM 2006 report examines the environmental performance of the transport sector and finds that it is still unsatisfactory. There is a need to intensify efforts to improve it, not least concerning the sector's contribution to climate change. The Commission's mid-term review of the 2001 Transport White Paper proposes changes that can bring both improvements and negative effects depending on how they are applied at European, national and regional level. Concerning the environment, the mid-term review changes the focus from managing transport demand to addressing negative side effects.This change in focus means that transport demand growth is no longer explicitly identified as one of the main environmental issues within the transport sector. However, as the extent of important environmental impacts such as climate change, noise and landscape fragmentation are closely linked to transport volumes, addressing them still requires the management of transport demand.The overall success of the new policy therefore still hinges on limiting (growth in) transport volumes. This is something which the White Paper failed to do. It therefore remains to be seen whether the new elements in the mid-term review concerning the use of scenarios for long-term planning and a common framework for charging can help to improve the situation.[Author vide copyright]

The TERM 2007 report examines performance of the transport sector vis-a-vis potential future targets for greenhouse gas emission reductions and concludes that technology measures are insufficient to meet likely targets. Policy-makers have to address the growth in transport demand.[Author vide copyright]

The TERM 2008 report examines performance of the transport sector vis-a-vis environmental performance and concludes that there are plenty of options for synergies between different policy initiatives but also a risk of measures counteracting each other. [Author vide copyright]
