lpv:spoken text	"Question 22 by Georgios Koumoutsakos () Every year, some 35 000 people are killed and 1.7 million injured in road accidents in the European Union. Among the statistics, one figure is of particular concern: in 2008, 1 100 children were victims of road accidents in the European Union. With reference to the Commission’s Road Safety programme 2011-2020, and bearing in mind that millions of children travel to and from school every day by bus, will the Commission answer the following: What specific initiatives and measures will it take, in conjunction with the Member States, to ensure more effective prevention of road accidents involving children? Will it introduce stricter safety standards and quality controls for buses used for school transport and for professional drivers of such buses (use of advanced technology equipment, more frequent checks on drivers’ professional skills and experience, and on their personal integrity via psychological testing, for example)? Question 23 by Jim Higgins () Is the Commission concerned that the number of road deaths annually EU-wide still remains unacceptably high, at 35 000 road traffic fatalities in 2009 across the EU? Is the Commission concerned that the European Road Safety Action Plan to cut road deaths from 50 000 to 25 000 between the years 2001 and 2010 has failed? Could the Commission outline how it will ensure that the EU’s revised programme for road safety, between 2011 and 2020, will, in fact, meet its targets?"@en1
