lpv:translated text	"Madam President, there is a great need for agreements about eCall to be concluded at European level, because only a standardised system can guarantee help in the case of accidents abroad. This is of major importance considering the ever increasing level of international traffic. The eCall system can, in addition to 112, make an important contribution to reducing the number of traffic fatalities in Europe, but its doing so is dependent on the Member States speeding up its introduction. That is true of the 112 system, but certainly also true of the eCall system, as my fellow Members have already indicated. Fortunately, the Netherlands can serve as a good example in this, because it is making haste, but this should be done on a Europe-wide basis. It should not be expensive to introduce the eCall system successfully. Costs can be cut by making the best possible use of the technologies available, albeit obviously without putting the emergency help function at risk. It therefore strikes me that Parliament is missing an opportunity by not explicitly recognising the need for what is termed an open platform structure, which would, among other things, enable every car driver to call out the breakdown services using eCall technology. Service providers could then pay for the use of the technical infrastructure, and costs could thus be shared more. I sincerely hope that the Member States will consent to the use of the broad scope of technology, again, of course, without this being at the expense of safety. I am pleased that Parliament is united in urging the Member States to get a move on, and we in this House will monitor this closely in the future."@en1
