WRITTEN QUESTION E-3861/98

by Clive Needle (PSE) to the Commission

(4 January 1999)

Subject: Licensed goods vehicles

What records are held by the Commission of the number of licensed goods vehicles and licensed drivers in all the Member States? What are the totals, broken down by Member State, in all the relevant categories?

Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission

(11 February 1999)

The Commission does not hold records of the numbers of licensed goods vehicles and licensed goods vehicle drivers in all Member States. While statistics available to the Commission on the number of licensed goods vehicle drivers in each Member State are too incomplete to give an overall picture, the position regarding the number of licensed goods vehicles in each Member State is better documented. The following table, based on work carried out under the 4th framework programme, distinguishes between light goods vehicles (up to 3,5 tonnes maximum authorised weight) and heavy goods vehicles (3,5 tonnes maximum authorised weight and over).
