"The authorities in every state have a duty to talk about road safety. This applies in the same way as they should talk about an efficient health service for saving lives and good schools for providing an education.
Romania is endeavouring to make its roads safer. We are still far away from the ideal situation, but according to the statistics, the number of accidents involving casualties is falling every year. Romania is 24th out of the 27 Member States, based on the criterion for measuring public road safety. This position does not show us in a good light and means that we need to adopt serious measures. The number of road victims has fallen by 11% between 2001 and now.
However, we know that people are not statistics and that behind every accident is a tragedy involving several families and the loss of human life. Romania is aware that it must learn from the experience of other Member States which have managed to cut the number of fatal road accidents significantly. Romania has the chance to meet this target more quickly by learning and benefiting from the experience of the European Union’s other Member States. Romania has adopted the European Union’s target of at least halving the number of serious road accidents in Romania by 2020."@en1
