Subsides worth between €270 to 290 billion a year are estimated to go into European transport, according to a preliminary report released by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in March 2007. From this figure, road transport receives €125 billion annually, rail €73 billion, aviation €27-35 billion and water-borne transport €14-30 billion. The report is a first attempt by the EEA to quantify these subsidies, and is intended to feed the discussion on the actual subsidy level within the sector.
