What this indicator measures

 

Link to a (sample) matching strategic goal

  • “Keep track of import of products which contribute tot the circular economy” (Port of Brussels – Masterplan 2040)

How data are collected and managed

 

Current limitations

The count is restricted to the port area, a legally defined territory which is under the management of the Port Authority (PA) or Port Management Body (PMB). For example, the boundaries of the Flemish ports are determined by a decision of the Flemish Government.

It is yet not clear whether all ports use the same categories to define their cargo.
