lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report because the deployment of an EU-wide eCall service available in all vehicles and in all countries has been a major priority for the Union in the context of road safety since 2002. The major benefit of eCall will be a reduction in the number of fatalities and the mitigation of the severity of injuries caused by road accidents due to the speedier arrival of the emergency services at the accident scene. According to official statistical data on eCall, it is estimated that the full introduction of the system in cars in EU Member States would save 2 500 lives annually, while reducing the severity of injuries by 10-15%. However, the mandatory deployment of a public eCall should not be based or made conditional on the existence of a positive business case for the standalone eCall service. Its benefits for society as a whole should also be considered. eCall should be a public emergency call service, free of charge, for the benefit of any driver in Europe regardless of his make of car. A mandatory public eCall could be the enabler for the take-off of many other commercial services, which are ready for the market but still need a killer application to be successful. Therefore, eCall could support additional public or private telematic services providing further safety and economic benefits."@en1
