"I voted in favour of this report because over the coming years, we must reduce number of road accidents in the European Union, which at present continues to rise. In 2009, more than 35 000 people were killed in road accidents in the European Union. More than 1 500 000 people were seriously injured, the majority of whom were left disabled. The number of deaths on the European Union’s roads is huge, and the social and economic cost is estimated at EUR 130 billion. The European Commission has therefore presented a communication, the target of which is to halve by 2020 the number of road deaths in the European Union (as compared with 2010).
The Commission has prepared seven main strategic actions for reducing the number of road accidents by 2020. The strategic plans set out how to ensure safer road infrastructure, how to guarantee compliance with road traffic rules and develop intelligent vehicles. In order to implement these strategies and reduce the number of victims, we must ensure an exceptionally high degree of coordination, both at European Union and national level."@en1
