"The campaign to reduce the number of deaths on the road is a shared objective for all European countries and there is an urgent need for the EU to develop an adequate strategy in this area. Indeed, how could we explain to citizens that freedom of movement guarantees the right to travel freely throughout the European Union without there being, at the same time, cross-border enforcement when traffic offences occur? I therefore welcome the fact that our Parliament has convinced some of the recalcitrant Member States. However, it is only a minimum compromise that has been reached at second reading and I hope that a European action will go beyond a system for exchanging information to punish reckless drivers. It is only natural then that I should have supported the introduction of a review clause. The safety of our roads is a necessity that should not fall victim to any savings in resources or lowering of sights. It is up to us to ensure that improvements in road safety are constantly strengthened. I also think that it is essential to link our road safety strategy with the need to improve the quality and resilience of our infrastructure. The well-being and safety of Europe’s citizens depends on this, whether or not they are motorists."@en1
