When drawing up the report referred to in paragraph 1, the Commission shall be assisted by representatives of the Member State to collect the information necessary for this purpose.

The report shall analyze the information and statistics relating in particular to:

The report shall, where appropriate, propose solutions for the subsequent improvement of such information and the situation in the combined transport sector.
