"Europe’s roads have become safer in recent years. Between 2001 and 2009, the number of deaths in the EU fell by 36%. In 2009, more than 35 000 people died on the EU’s roads and 1.5 million were injured, leaving many of them disabled. These road accidents are costing society around EUR 130 billion per year. This report, for which I voted, recommends the mandatory installation of devices – alcolocks – that block the vehicle if the level is over the limit for drivers who already have a drink-driving conviction. These devices should become mandatory in all new types of commercial passenger and goods transport vehicles, and the Commission should table a proposal for a directive to this end by 2013. It proposes the introduction of a maximum speed limit of 30km/h in residential areas without cycle lanes. It calls for the urgent introduction of a new European road safety action programme. It suggests that an EU road safety coordinator should be appointed by 2014 to help the Member States implement the European road safety action programme."@en1
