"I voted in favour of the report on road safety by Mr Koch because I think that this issue has an important role to play considering that around 55% of fatal accidents happen on rural roads, 36% in urban areas and 6% on motorways.
Over the last three years, road accidents in the capital cities of the European Union have caused an average of 1 845 deaths each year. Many of these victims are pedestrians, cyclists, elderly people and children. In order to reduce the number of deaths caused by road accidents, common and harmonised restrictive measures are needed across Europe, including the creation of safe road-traffic infrastructure, respect for driving and rest periods, and the establishment of safe parking areas for lorry drivers which are in line with the minimum social standards.
I support the creation of the office of the European road safety coordinator by 2014, with particular responsibility for opening an investigation on the effectiveness of road safety policies in large and medium-sized urban areas and on the necessary elements for once again making travel safe for all citizens."@en1
