ANNEX FGOODS NOMENCLATUREThe type of goods shall be reported according to the classification NST-2000Standard Goods for Transport Statistics, 2000, adopted at the 64th session (18 to 21 February 2002) of the Inland Transport Committee of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and revised at the 56th session of the Working Party on Transport Statistics (8 to 10 June 2005) under Document TRANS/WP.6/2004/1/Rev.2. as shown in Table F.1. The two-digit code of the column "NST-2000 groups" shall be used.However, in 2007 only, Member States shall be allowed to use the classification NST/RStandard Goods Classification for Transport Statistics/Revised, 1967. Published by the Statistical Office of the European Communities (French version 1968). as shown in Table F.2 for reporting the type of goods. The two-digit code of the column "Groups of goods" shall be used.Member States can also decide to report data using both classifications in 2007. From 2008 onwards, only classification NST-2000 shall be valid.

15Mail, parcelsNote: this heading is normally used for goods transported by postal administrations and specialized courier services in NACE Rev. 2 divisions 53.10 and 53.20
16Equipment and material utilised in the transport of goodsNote: this heading covers items such as empty containers, palettes, boxes, crates and roll cages. It also covers vehicles used to contain goods, where the vehicle is itself carried on another vehicle. The existence of a code for this type of material does not prejudge the question of whether such materials are to be counted as "goods", this will depend on the rules for data collection in each mode of transport.
17Goods moved in the course of household and office removals; baggage transported separately from passengers; motor vehicles being moved for repair; other non-market goods n.e.c.
18Grouped goods: a mixture of types of goods which are transported togetherNote: this heading is used whenever it is not considered appropriate to assign the goods to separately to groups 01-16.
19Unidentifiable goods: goods which for any reason cannot be identified and therefore cannot be assigned to groups 01-16.Note: this heading is intended to cover goods where the reporting unit does not have information on the type of goods being transported.
20Other goods n.e.c.Note: this heading covers any items which cannot be assigned to any of the groups 01-19. Since the groups 01-19 are intended to cover all foreseeable categories of transported goods, the use of group 20 should be considered unusual and may indicate a need for further checking of the data reported under this heading.

Published by the Statistical Office of the European Communities (French version 1968).ANNEX IIADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS, EXPLANATIONS AND DATA REPORTING GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EC) No 1365/2006SECTION I.INLAND WATERWAYS TRANSPORT1.Navigable inland waterwaysThis term covers navigable rivers, lakes, canals and estuaries. An inland waterway forming a common border between two countries has to be reported by both.2.Inland waterways transportFor the purpose of this Regulation the movements of goods and/or passengers using seagoing vessels undertaken wholly in navigable inland waterways will be considered as inland waterways transport and will be subject to the same data provision obligations no matter if seagoing vessels are not specifically mentioned in other definitions.Movements of goods shipped to offshore installations are excluded. Bunkers and stores supplied to vessels in port are excluded, but bunker oil shipped to vessels offshore is included.3.National inland waterways transportNational inland waterways transport may involve transit through a second country, although for this country this transport has to be reported as transit. Cabotage transport defined as national inland waterways transport performed by a vessel registered in another country is included.4.International inland waterways transportInternational inland waterways transport may involve transit through one or more third countries. For the latter countries this transport has to be reported as transit.5.Transit inland waterways transportTransit inland waterways transport shall be considered as such only provided that in the total journey within the national territory there is no transshipment.6.Country/region of loadingThis is the country or region of the port (NUTS2 levelNomenclature of territorial units as per Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the establishment of a common classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) (OJ L 154, 21.6.2003, p. 1). Any future update of this classification adopted by implementing Commission regulations will be applicable for the purpose of this Regulation.) where the transported goods are loaded on a vessel.7.Country/region of unloadingThis is the country or region of the port (NUTS2 level) where the transported goods are unloaded from a vessel.8.Type of packaging of goodsGoods on a vessel can be transported using two types of packaging:inside containers as defined in section III.1,not in containers.SECTION II.TYPES OF VESSELS1.Self-propelled bargeAny powered inland waterways freight vessel, other than self-propelled tanker barges.2.Barge not self-propelledAny unpowered inland waterways freight vessel, other than not self-propelled tanker barges. This category includes towed, pushed and pushed-towed barges.3.Self-propelled tanker bargeA self-propelled barge intended for the transport of liquids or gases in fixed tanks.4.Tanker barge not self-propelledA barge not self-propelled intended for the transport of liquids or gases in fixed tanks.5.Other goods carrying vesselAny other known or unknown kind of inland waterways freight vessel intended for carrying goods not defined in the previous categories.6.Seagoing vesselA vessel other than those which navigate predominantly in navigable inland waterways or in waters within, or closely adjacent to, sheltered waters or areas where port regulations apply.SECTION III.CONTAINERS1.ContainerA freight container means an article of transport equipment:1.of a permanent nature and accordingly strong enough to be suitable for repeated use;2.specially designed to facilitate the carriage of goods by one or more modes of transport, without intermediate reloading;3.fitted with devices permitting its ready handling, particularly its transfer from one mode of transport to another;4.so designed as to be easy to fill and empty;5.having a length of 20 feet or more.2.Size of containersFor the purpose of this Regulation the size of containers will be reported according to four categories:1.20 Foot ISO containers (length of 20 feet and width of 8 feet);2.40 Foot ISO containers (length of 40 feet and width of 8 feet);3.ISO containers over 20 feet and under 40 feet in length;4.ISO containers over 40 feet long.(Containers smaller than 20 feet or of unknown size must be reported under Category 1).3.Loading status of containersContainers may have two loading status regardless of their size:loaded, when any kind of good is transported inside the container,empty, when the container does not have any good inside.SECTION IV.INLAND WATERWAYS TRAFFIC1.Number of movements of loaded vesselsOne movement of a loaded vessel is counted as the movement of a vessel from the port of loading of any kind of goods to the following port of loading or unloading.2.Number of movements of empty vesselsOne movement of an empty vessel is counted as the movement of a vessel from one port to another for which the gross-gross weight of goods is nil. The movement of a vessel carrying empty containers is not considered as an empty vessel.SECTION V.UNITS1.TonneUnit for measuring the weight of goods transport equivalent to 1000 kilograms.The weight to be taken into consideration is the gross-gross weight of goods. The weight taken into consideration is equivalent to the total weight of the goods and packaging and the tare weight of equipment such as containers, swap bodies and pallets. When this tare-weight is excluded, the weight is gross weight.2.Tonne-kmUnit for measuring the goods transport equivalent to one tonne of goods transported over a distance of one kilometre.For the purpose of reporting the tonne-km performance only the distance travelled on navigable inland waterways has to be taken into account.3.TEUUnit for measuring the container size equivalent to twenty feet unit. For the purpose of this Regulation the following equivalences apply:1.20 Foot ISO containers (length of 20 feet and width of 8 feet)1 TEU;2.40 Foot ISO container (length of 40 feet and width of 8 feet)2 TEU;3.ISO containers over 20 feet and under 40 feet in length1,5 TEU;4.ISO containers over 40 feet long2,25 TEU.4.TEU-kmUnit for measuring the goods transport by containers equivalent to one TEU transported over a distance of one kilometre.For the purpose of reporting the TEU-km performance only the distance travelled on navigable inland waterways has to be taken into account.5.Vessel-kmUnit for measuring the vessel traffic equivalent to the movement of a vessel over a distance of one kilometre. For the purpose of reporting the vessel-km performance only the distance travelled on navigable inland waterways has to be taken into account.ANNEX IIIDESCRIPTION OF THE DATA FILES AND TRANSMISSION MEDIUM FOR IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EC) No 1365/2006Description of the elements to be used in each data fileA summary of the elements to be provided in each of the data files (tables) of this Regulation is presented in the following table:

ANNEX FGOODS NOMENCLATUREThe type of goods shall be reported according to the classification NST-2000Standard Goods for Transport Statistics, 2000, adopted at the 64th session (18 to 21 February 2002) of the Inland Transport Committee of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and revised at the 56th session of the Working Party on Transport Statistics (8 to 10 June 2005) under Document TRANS/WP.6/2004/1/Rev.2. as shown in Table F.1. The two-digit code of the column "NST-2000 groups" shall be used.However, in 2007 only, Member States shall be allowed to use the classification NST/RStandard Goods Classification for Transport Statistics/Revised, 1967. Published by the Statistical Office of the European Communities (French version 1968). as shown in Table F.2 for reporting the type of goods. The two-digit code of the column "Groups of goods" shall be used.Member States can also decide to report data using both classifications in 2007. From 2008 onwards, only classification NST-2000 shall be valid.

15Mail, parcelsNote: this heading is normally used for goods transported by postal administrations and specialized courier services in NACE Rev. 2 divisions 53.10 and 53.20
16Equipment and material utilised in the transport of goodsNote: this heading covers items such as empty containers, palettes, boxes, crates and roll cages. It also covers vehicles used to contain goods, where the vehicle is itself carried on another vehicle. The existence of a code for this type of material does not prejudge the question of whether such materials are to be counted as "goods", this will depend on the rules for data collection in each mode of transport.
17Goods moved in the course of household and office removals; baggage transported separately from passengers; motor vehicles being moved for repair; other non-market goods n.e.c.
18Grouped goods: a mixture of types of goods which are transported togetherNote: this heading is used whenever it is not considered appropriate to assign the goods to separately to groups 01-16.
19Unidentifiable goods: goods which for any reason cannot be identified and therefore cannot be assigned to groups 01-16.Note: this heading is intended to cover goods where the reporting unit does not have information on the type of goods being transported.
20Other goods n.e.c.Note: this heading covers any items which cannot be assigned to any of the groups 01-19. Since the groups 01-19 are intended to cover all foreseeable categories of transported goods, the use of group 20 should be considered unusual and may indicate a need for further checking of the data reported under this heading.

An inland waterway forming a common border between two countries has to be reported by both.2.Inland waterways transportFor the purpose of this Regulation the movements of goods and/or passengers using seagoing vessels undertaken wholly in navigable inland waterways will be considered as inland waterways transport and will be subject to the same data provision obligations no matter if seagoing vessels are not specifically mentioned in other definitions.Movements of goods shipped to offshore installations are excluded. Bunkers and stores supplied to vessels in port are excluded, but bunker oil shipped to vessels offshore is included.3.National inland waterways transportNational inland waterways transport may involve transit through a second country, although for this country this transport has to be reported as transit. Cabotage transport defined as national inland waterways transport performed by a vessel registered in another country is included.4.International inland waterways transportInternational inland waterways transport may involve transit through one or more third countries. For the latter countries this transport has to be reported as transit.5.Transit inland waterways transportTransit inland waterways transport shall be considered as such only provided that in the total journey within the national territory there is no transshipment.6.Country/region of loadingThis is the country or region of the port (NUTS2 levelNomenclature of territorial units as per Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 May 2003 on the establishment of a common classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) (OJ L 154, 21.6.2003, p. 1). Any future update of this classification adopted by implementing Commission regulations will be applicable for the purpose of this Regulation.) where the transported goods are loaded on a vessel.7.Country/region of unloadingThis is the country or region of the port (NUTS2 level) where the transported goods are unloaded from a vessel.8.Type of packaging of goodsGoods on a vessel can be transported using two types of packaging:inside containers as defined in section III.1,not in containers.SECTION II.TYPES OF VESSELS1.Self-propelled bargeAny powered inland waterways freight vessel, other than self-propelled tanker barges.2.Barge not self-propelledAny unpowered inland waterways freight vessel, other than not self-propelled tanker barges. This category includes towed, pushed and pushed-towed barges.3.Self-propelled tanker bargeA self-propelled barge intended for the transport of liquids or gases in fixed tanks.4.Tanker barge not self-propelledA barge not self-propelled intended for the transport of liquids or gases in fixed tanks.5.Other goods carrying vesselAny other known or unknown kind of inland waterways freight vessel intended for carrying goods not defined in the previous categories.6.Seagoing vesselA vessel other than those which navigate predominantly in navigable inland waterways or in waters within, or closely adjacent to, sheltered waters or areas where port regulations apply.SECTION III.CONTAINERS1.ContainerA freight container means an article of transport equipment:1.of a permanent nature and accordingly strong enough to be suitable for repeated use;2.specially designed to facilitate the carriage of goods by one or more modes of transport, without intermediate reloading;3.fitted with devices permitting its ready handling, particularly its transfer from one mode of transport to another;4.so designed as to be easy to fill and empty;5.having a length of 20 feet or more.2.Size of containersFor the purpose of this Regulation the size of containers will be reported according to four categories:1.20 Foot ISO containers (length of 20 feet and width of 8 feet);2.40 Foot ISO containers (length of 40 feet and width of 8 feet);3.ISO containers over 20 feet and under 40 feet in length;4.ISO containers over 40 feet long.(Containers smaller than 20 feet or of unknown size must be reported under Category 1).3.Loading status of containersContainers may have two loading status regardless of their size:loaded, when any kind of good is transported inside the container,empty, when the container does not have any good inside.SECTION IV.INLAND WATERWAYS TRAFFIC1.Number of movements of loaded vesselsOne movement of a loaded vessel is counted as the movement of a vessel from the port of loading of any kind of goods to the following port of loading or unloading.2.Number of movements of empty vesselsOne movement of an empty vessel is counted as the movement of a vessel from one port to another for which the gross-gross weight of goods is nil. The movement of a vessel carrying empty containers is not considered as an empty vessel.SECTION V.UNITS1.TonneUnit for measuring the weight of goods transport equivalent to 1000 kilograms.The weight to be taken into consideration is the gross-gross weight of goods. The weight taken into consideration is equivalent to the total weight of the goods and packaging and the tare weight of equipment such as containers, swap bodies and pallets. When this tare-weight is excluded, the weight is gross weight.2.Tonne-kmUnit for measuring the goods transport equivalent to one tonne of goods transported over a distance of one kilometre.For the purpose of reporting the tonne-km performance only the distance travelled on navigable inland waterways has to be taken into account.3.TEUUnit for measuring the container size equivalent to twenty feet unit. For the purpose of this Regulation the following equivalences apply:1.20 Foot ISO containers (length of 20 feet and width of 8 feet)1 TEU;2.40 Foot ISO container (length of 40 feet and width of 8 feet)2 TEU;3.ISO containers over 20 feet and under 40 feet in length1,5 TEU;4.ISO containers over 40 feet long2,25 TEU.4.TEU-kmUnit for measuring the goods transport by containers equivalent to one TEU transported over a distance of one kilometre.For the purpose of reporting the TEU-km performance only the distance travelled on navigable inland waterways has to be taken into account.5.Vessel-kmUnit for measuring the vessel traffic equivalent to the movement of a vessel over a distance of one kilometre. For the purpose of reporting the vessel-km performance only the distance travelled on navigable inland waterways has to be taken into account.ANNEX IIIDESCRIPTION OF THE DATA FILES AND TRANSMISSION MEDIUM FOR IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EC) No 1365/2006Description of the elements to be used in each data fileA summary of the elements to be provided in each of the data files (tables) of this Regulation is presented in the following table:

Two fields are marked in the column associated to the relevant table:"X": fields that have to be provided for a table," " (space): fields not relevant for the table (should not be provided).The format of each field is either numeric (n) or alphabetic (a) or alphanumeric (an). The size is either fixed ("format + number" — e.g.: "n4") or variable with a maximum number of positions ("format" + "..."+ maximum number of positions — e.g.: "n..12").Description of transmission mediumThe transmission format to be used has to be compatible with an automatic transmission of data (EDI approach).The "CSV" (comma separated values) format with semicolon (;) as field separator is acceptable. Another more advanced format based on an appropriate interchange standard could also be specified by Eurostat. Eurostat would then make available detailed documentation on how to implement this standard according to the requirements of this Regulation.Data shall be transmitted or uploaded by electronic means to the single entry point for data at Eurostat.One separate file by table of the Regulation and period has to be sent.The following file naming convention is required:"IWW_Table_Frequency_Country_Year_Period[_OptionalField].format" where:
