lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I wish to speak on this report because it is necessary for the European Union to find a more effective way to ensure that Member States who make commitments in relation to matters of life and death actually comply with those commitments. The report points out that during the 1990s the number of road deaths fell in the European Union by 26%. In Ireland, however, the fall has only been by 13%. We have the third highest accident rate in the European Union and we have the highest fatality rate in the European Union. The National Safety Council just last August indicated that as far as they were concerned they did not see any political commitment to actually dealing effectively with road safety. It estimated that of the 62 000 young people who sat the leaving certificate examination in June 2000 within eight years 1000 would be dead in unnecessary car accidents. This seems to me to be a grotesque situation and quite simply should not be tolerated by the European Union. If Member States make commitments to implement the matters which affect life and death than we have to find ways of ensuring that they comply with those commitments."@en1
