"EU citizens are entitled to a high level of road safety. The statistics are encouraging: in recent years, Europe’s roads have become safer; indeed, between 2001 and 2009 the number of road deaths in the EU fell by 36%. The Third European Road Safety Action Programme 2001-2010 was instrumental in bringing about that fall, since it made progress in the field of road safety and helped save precious lives. A recent Commission communication sets out the new strategic objectives, in particular the ambitious proposal to halve by 2020 the total number of road deaths in the EU. Although I support and welcome the Commission’s objectives, we cannot fail to seek the highest degree of coordination possible at local, regional, national and European level in the preparation and implementation of the measures to be executed. Nevertheless, if current EU structures remain unchanged, decisive action to develop this integrated strategy is unlikely. I therefore agree with the rapporteur’s proposal to create the office of European Road Safety Coordinator which, with the Commission’s support, will play a valuable role by liaising between the various levels of intervention."@en1
