"How many Europeans know that ‘112’ is the European emergency number that they can call without charge from either landlines or mobiles anywhere in the Union?
According to a very recent Eurobarometer survey, only 26% do, while 58% believe people in their country are inadequately informed about it. With today’s vote, Parliament urges the Commission to enhance the service offered by the ‘112’ number so as to ensure that it operates smoothly in all the Member States. It is essential that this number should be really easy to access, even by the most vulnerable groups, particularly those with hearing difficulties, speech impediments or other disabilities.
The Member States, too, should undertake information and communication campaigns, targeting the most appropriate places for promoting awareness, such as schools, universities, pharmacies, outpatients’ departments, stations, airports, etc. In addition, establishing 11 February every year as ‘European 112 Day’ can help promote this emergency number, which will be a real life saver once it is widely adopted."@en1
