EU revises transport pricing indicators

The European Environment Agency (EEA) has revised the indicators it uses to monitor integration of environmental concerns into European transport pricing policies. The change affects indicators used in the transport and environment reporting mechanism (Term). It comes as transport pricing moves up the EU political agenda: ministers are discussing European Commission plans for a new road pricing regime while the Commission itself is developing a greener vehicle taxation system. The current Dutch presidency has made sustainable mobility one of its priorities. See EEA’s term report at: http://reports.eea.eu.int/technical_report_2004_3/en
