"I would first of all like to thank Mrs Ayala Sender for her report on a subject which is extremely important. Some 43 000 citizens lose their lives on Europe’s roads and roughly 1 300 000 citizens are involved in accidents. The 43 000 fatalities on Europe’s roads are the equivalent of a medium-sized air crash every week. I feel that we can no longer tolerate this situation.
I would like to mention that the directive being proposed does not refer to criminal sanctions or to the points systems where they already exist in Member States. I would like to call for data to be transferred between Member States in a manner which guarantees its confidentiality and security. Communications between Member States should also include the methods of payment available and the currency which will be used to make this payment.
In addition, if the central authorities in the Member State of residence are going to decide not to go ahead and apply the financial sanctions imposed by the Member State in which the offence took place, this must be reported to the European Commission without fail. I believe that this directive is extremely important. This is why I hope that the European Parliament’s vote on this matter will also help the European Council to take a step in the right direction, in other words, to approve this directive. This is an absolute must. Thank you."@en1
