"Road safety is a subject of enormous importance, especially nowadays, when technology and developments in the automotive sector are reaching ever higher levels. The EU’s task is to adopt legislation that will enable citizens to travel on safe roads and in safe vehicles. That is why I voted for the resolution moved by Mr Koch and Ms Sehnalová on the adoption of the eCall system in all cars by 2015. The introduction of this device will bring many benefits. In the event of a serious accident, a vehicle equipped with eCall will automatically place a 112 emergency call, even if the passenger is not in a fit state to speak, and provide the emergency services with all the key information on the accident. Thanks to the use of this technology, about 2 500 lives will be saved every year and the severity of injuries sustained will fall by 10-15%, all due to the swifter and more efficient intervention of the rescue services at the scene of the accident."@en1
