lpv:translated text	"Alcohol constitutes the second greatest danger to health in the EU according to a report on health produced by a high-level working party. Alcohol is also the greatest contributory cause of accidents on European roads and a very important contributory cause of the most serious accidents. I find it extremely commendable that the Commission too considers that blood alcohol levels must be kept low among drivers, for safety and alcohol do not go together. We know from the experience of countries which have low upper limits that this is a way of reducing the number of deaths and serious accidents. I should also like to put a following question to the Commissioner. Why should it be impossible to issue a directive covering this area when the majority of countries now have an upper limit of 0.5 per mille and only a few have a limit in excess of 0.5 per mille?"@en1
