"Safety on Europe’s roads is one of the Union’s great priorities. The ambitious project of reducing the number of fatalities on the roads by more than half by 2010 ended in failure. As Portugal is the EU country with the second highest road fatality rate, I voted for this report, and would stress that more measures need to be taken urgently to increase penalties for infractions by drivers not resident in the various Member States. I regret that Parliament’s proposal has been rejected at first reading and that this document focuses essentially on the exchange of data between the Member States by amending the legal basis that, at the same time, will enable three Member States to opt out of this directive. Moreover, utilisation of the European Vehicle and Driving Licence Information System (Eucaris) as an instrument to manage data on innumerable infractions should be rethought, since its primary purpose is to cooperate against organised crime and terrorism. The loss of human life on European roads must be combated with concrete measures that hold offenders to account. Expanding the scope to include other infractions should be the next step."@en1
