"The objective of eCall is to ensure the automatic notification of emergency services from inside a vehicle in the case of an accident, in order to reduce the number of casualties from traffic accidents and mitigate the seriousness of injuries sustained in traffic accidents. eCall will speed up the arrival of qualified and properly equipped assistance. The application of eCall technology must be compulsory and available to all drivers of vehicles in the European Union. It is also important that vehicles imported into Europe from third countries should be required to have eCall technology. eCall technology must be installed in all new cars. eCall technology is based on the 112 emergency number, and must be compulsory and free of charge for all. Parliament is calling on the European Commission to acknowledge the need to develop, by the end of 2012, a directive that would include the implementation of eCall. In order to mitigate the problems associated with the introduction of eCall, the Committee on Transport and Tourism and the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection have called upon Member States to cooperate with the European Commission to plan and implement national pilot programmes for the utilisation of the European in-car automatic emergency call system (eCall), in order to address all of the problems that may arise.
The infrastructure required for the eCall technology must also be created, and telephone operators must be provided with the training required to prepare them for the compulsory introduction of this system in all Member States by 2015. Based on the above, I supported the adoption of this report."@en1
