"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, back in 2002, road safety experts regarded an EU-wide eCall service available in all vehicles as a priority, because after an accident, the people involved may be in a state of shock, may not know their location or may simply be unable to communicate it.
Particularly in accidents, the speed of the emergency response is crucial for saving lives. Based on the 112 call platform, the eCall system cuts emergency response times to the accident scene, thereby saving up to 2 500 lives a year and reducing the severity of injuries by up to 15%. eCall can cut emergency response times by about 50% in rural areas and up to 40% in urban areas, and can also help reduce the congestion caused by road traffic accidents by up to 20%."@en1
