Activity start year: 1998
Quality of results:
According to the EC Regulation no. 642/2004 on data accuracy and the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council no. 70/2012, data are transmitted to EUROSTAT for determining the relative error of the transported goods and the goods transport performance, per total, for the international and national transport. At the same time, based on data collected from the table elaborated for EUROSTAT (EC Regulation no. 642/2004), the following indicators can be determined: the response rate and the quality of response rate. These indicators are calculated based on the activity of road transportation of goods during a year. As to the indicators of the volume of transported goods and the goods transport performance, the relative error is calculated at a confidence level of 95%.
Short history of activity:
The statistical survey on transport of goods by road, ASTRM, has been performed since 1998 and ensures the harmonization of the methodology and process of data collection with the recommendations of EUROSTAT:  Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council no. 70/2012 on carriage of goods by road; EC Regulation no. 2691/1999; EC Regulation no. 2163/2001; EC Regulation no. 642/2004; EC Regulation no. 6/2003.
