INTERNATIONAL COMPARISONS
1. Introduction
1.1 This chapter compares some statistics for Scotland with the 28 EU
member countries over a mixture of years. Due to the increased EU membership
over the years overall comparisons with EU-15 and EU-28 countries are made.
1.2 Due to definitional variations across countries comparisons may
not be exact (see Sections 3, 4 & 5), especially where noticeable
difference exist between the UK figure and the UK/GB calculated on the same
basis as the figure for Scotland. Scotland figures use 2012 mid-year
estimates, compared to the 1st January 2012 population estimates
given for EU countries.
1.4 In some cases, the EU countries' figures do not all relate to
the same year. (See the
Notes and definitions
section). Because of
such differences, the commentary in Section 2 generally does not reference the
year. General trends will tend to be similar over recent years and so the
impact of this should be minimal.
Key Points
- Scotland has less road and
rail network by area compared to the EU average.
- Scotland has higher car use
than the EU average but lower car ownership
- The proportion of freight
carried by road is lower than in the rest of the EU due to the higher
proportion carried by pipeline in Scotland.
2. Main points
Population
2.1 Scotland has a low population: only nine of the EU-28 (Croatia,
Cyprus, Estonia, Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Latvia, Malta and Slovenia) have
fewer people. Scotland also has a low population density (68 people per square
kilometre) compared with the overall EU average (EU-15: 123; EU-28: 115). Only
seven of the EU-28 countries (Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Lithuania,
Latvia and Sweden) have a lower population density than Scotland.
Road Network
2.2 For its area, Scotland has a short Motorway network (5.1 km of Motorway
per thousand square kilometres), well below the overall EU figure (EU-15: 19.8;
EU-28: 16.3). Seven of the EU-28 countries (Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Lithuania,
Poland, Romania and Sweden) have a lower figure than Scotland. This does not
include Latvia and Malta which have no motorway.
2.3 The total length of the Scottish road network relative to the
area of the country is 16 per cent below the EU-28 average when 'other roads'
and unclassified roads in Scotland are excluded (Scotland: 367 km of road per
thousand square kilometres; EU-15: 460; EU-28: 435).
2.4 Scotland has a short rail network for its area (35.4 km of
route per thousand square kilometres) compared with the overall EU figure
(EU-15: 47.0; EU-28: 49.2). Nine of the 27 EU countries (Estonia, Finland,
Greece, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal, Spain and Sweden) have a lower
value than Scotland. This does not include Cyprus and Malta which do not have
a railway network.
Vehicles per Population
2.5 Scotland has few cars for the size of its population (430 per
thousand population) compared with the EU as a whole (EU-15: 512; EU-28: 488).
Eight of the EU-28 countries have lower figures than Scotland.
2.6 Scotland also has few goods vehicles relative to the size of
its population (52 per thousand population) compared with the overall EU
average (EU-15: 70; EU-28: 68). Of the EU-28, Eight countries have lower
figures.
2.7 The number of new vehicle registrations in Scotland was relatively
high (39 per thousand population), higher than the EU-15 and EU-28 averages – only
two of the EU-28 countries had higher rates (Belgium and Luxembourg).
Distances travelled
2.8 Walking, cycling and motorcycles are excluded from the
calculation of these modal shares, for consistency with the figures in the
relevant table of the EU publication. That table shows just four modes (passenger
cars, buses/coaches, railways and tram/metro) and gives their shares of the
total for those four modes. Passenger cars account for a slightly higher
percentage of the total travel by those four modes in Scotland (85.7%) than the
EU as a whole (EU-15 82.5%; EU-28: 81.6%).
Air travel
2.9 Relative to the size of its population, Scotland has less
international air passengers to or from the EU-28 countries (1.55 per head of
the population, not counting internal UK traffic) than the overall EU figure (EU-15:
1.90; EU-28: 1.64).
Road Fatalities
2.10 Scotland's number of road deaths per million population is well
below the overall EU average (Scotland: 33; EU-15: 48; EU-28: 56). Of the EU-28
countries, only five countries (Denmark, Malta, Netherlands, Sweden and UK) had
lower figures.
Freight
2.11 For freight transport, road has a low modal share in Scotland (61.3%)
compared with the overall EU figure (EU-15: 72.4%; EU-28: 71.6%) due to the
high modal share of pipelines (27.8%, higher than in any EU country). The
modal shares of rail and inland waterways in Scotland are both below the
overall figures for the EU-28.
3.1 Table Comparisons
- Rates (per thousand population or
per thousand square km) are based on the countries' areas and populations
presented in EU Energy and Transport in Figures. As figures are rounded
to a few decimal places, results won't be as precise as they using exact
figures. Therefore figures should be regarded as broad indicators;
- Country figures may not be on exactly the basis due to the availability of data. There is plenty of scope for
differences in interpretation or definition (e.g. should the surface area of
inland lochs and lakes be included when calculating a country's area?);
- Scotland figures may differ from
those elsewhere in Scottish Transport Statistics in order to provide Scottish
figures on the same basis as the GB or UK figures given in the final two
columns.
- GB and UK figures are on the same
basis as the figures for Scotland. The closer that these figures are to the UK
(or GB) figures from EU Energy and Transport in Figures (columns to the
left of the EU-15 and EU-28), the closer that the Scottish basis is to the EU
countries.
- Many of the Scotland figures are
derived from GB-wide surveys conducted by the Department for Transport and UK figures
may not be as readily available. As Northern Ireland may account for a small percentage
of a UK figure, there is likely to be little difference between figures for GB
and UK, particularly for rates.
- Some of the Scotland, GB and/or
UK figures appear with more significant digits than the figures for the EU
countries, increasing the precision of the rates.

These are the nearest available
figures for Scotland, and comparable figures for GB or UK as a whole -
information on sources is given in the text. These may be on a different
basis from other countries.
|
|
( + )
|
All roads data relates to the end of 2005, except for motorway estimate.
|
|
( @ )
|
The definitions of road types vary from country to country.
Some countries' figures may include
the lengths of some roads which do not have a hard surface.
|
|
( $ )
|
The notes on the sources of the statistics explain why there appears to
be a large inconsistency between the EU publication's figure for the UK and
the (DfT) figure for GB.
|
|
(^)
|
UK figure is for GB only.
|
|
( * )
|
Calculated from the figures in that table, which gives the total number
of passenger/tonne-kilometres for the country as a whole (in 100/1000
millions).
|
|
(&)
|
National Travel Survey data is only collected for England now. Figures
for Scotland and GB are for the last time they were available in 2012.
|
|
( ** )
|
As shown in (or as calculated from figures in) a previous edition - the
2012 edition does not provide any figures for powered two-wheelers, cycling
or walking.
|
|
( *** )
|
Data calculated by adding together the total number of journeys across
each row in Table 2.4.1
|
|
n-a or 0
|
In general, n-a is used where a figure is not available, and 0 is used
where a figure is nil.
However,
n-a may be treated as if it were 0 for the purpose of some calculations.
