"Mr President, first of all, let me thank the rapporteurs and my colleagues in the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection and the Committee on Transport and Tourism for their work and their cooperation on this report. Our common goal is to have the life-saving eCall system in all new cars by 2015. It is crucial that Parliament supports the introduction of eCall. My wish is that the report should serve as a model for a legislative proposal by the Commission in 2012. Currently, fewer than 1% of all passenger vehicles in the EU are equipped with an automatic emergency call system. The eCall device is estimated to cost less than EUR 100 when new, and it could save as many as 2 500 lives a year. As shadow rapporteur on eCall, I strongly believe the system can be reachable all over Europe only with mandatory deployment. The S&D Group’s approach is that the EU-wide eCall service must be based on the 112 emergency number. We urge the Commission to table legislation to make the eCall system compulsory by 2015. In addition, Member States should actively cooperate on this issue. Having free access to eCall should be a right for every EU citizen, as this public service would benefit all."@en1
