"The 112 service is a very good tool in emergencies. It is available, or at least should be available, from all telephone equipment and in every Member State. However, people who have been injured in road accidents are very often not able themselves to report this to the emergency services. This led to the design of the eCall system, in which vehicles are fitted with special equipment which automatically reports involvement in a road accident. Unfortunately, work on implementing the system, which has been going on for nearly a decade, has still not brought results. Therefore, I wholeheartedly support acceleration of this work, both in terms of administration of the system and in terms of the technology involved, in order to make a full eCall service available throughout the Union as soon as possible. I am sure that this will have a significant impact on the effectiveness of the rescue services, and will reduce the risk of loss of life and health of those caught up in accidents. It will also allow the efficient reorganisation of traffic at places where accidents have occurred. The service must be free, must be a public service and must be available in all vehicles regardless of their manufacturer. The system will also provide administrative benefits in the form of a reduction in the medical costs associated with accidents and a lower risk of secondary accidents and the resultant congestion. I support the resolution."@en1
