"Madam President, at this time of the year many traffic accidents will be occurring and national authorities are making a concerted effort to reduce the number of accidents on our roads. Significant progress has been made at EU level in tackling road deaths in recent years; we seem to have had a regression in those figures.
We need to have further innovative measures to address this fact: it is notable, when you look at the number of serious injuries, that the reduction in those is lagging behind road deaths. We are not being as successful in that area: if you look since 2010, the number of people seriously injured in the EU was reduced by just 1.6% compared to an 18% decrease in the number of road deaths. So there has been a lot done in reducing our road deaths but still more needs to be done. We need now to look at serious road injuries and ascertain why we are not making progress in that area.
The Commission needs to introduce a target for the reduction of serious road injuries, and to bring forward measures in the road package next year to ensure that meaningful data are collected as to why we have this level of serious road injuries and to ensure that we are as effective in this area of serious injuries on our roads as we have been in road deaths."@en1
