"Universal service should provide all citizens, even in the remotest and outermost areas, with access to services essential for their participation in society, at affordable prices and without distorting competition. This will meet the objectives of the Digital Agenda, which aim to bring basic broadband coverage to all Europeans by 2013, allowing them to reap the full benefits of the single digital market.
The creation of the European emergency number 112, in 1991, was of the utmost importance, as it enables citizens to access emergency services using a single number, regardless of the Member State that they are in. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Europeans are still unaware of it, on top of the poor quality of the service that has thus far been provided to citizens through the 112 number, with no significant progress observed since 2000. In view of the fact that several recent disasters have shown that giving the public early warning in the event of emergencies or imminent or developing major disasters is necessary if suffering and the loss of life are to be reduced, it is vital that the quality of implementing this support service in cases of emergency be improved, especially in terms of information, accessibility, interoperability and intervention times."@en1
