lpv:translated text	". Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, the citizens of EU Member States are often taken aback by the large numbers of fatalities in road accidents. There are, of course, various ways in which both the number of fatalities and the lasting impact of injuries can be reduced. As my fellow Member has already mentioned, these include the quality of the roads, the safety of vehicle design and more detailed transport regulations that can be enforced more easily. Among the measures offering rescue teams a better chance of arriving promptly at an accident scene are the reduction of the time taken between the accident occurring and the arrival of information on that accident, including its precise location. I warmly welcome the fact that apart from the seven Member States which have announced that they are ready to launch the system, four others have begun the process of adopting it. Our resolution calls on the 14 remaining countries to join the system, and I believe that that will not take long. Furthermore, I believe that the whole of the European Economic Area will sign up to this initiative, in addition to the EU Member States. The roll-out of the eCall initiative is to be synchronised with the fully operational phase of the Galileo satellite positioning system, which should start in 2010. It would therefore be a good idea for eCall to be fully functional by this date too. A further prerequisite for the full roll-out of the system is substantial progress towards the use of the emergency number 112, as the Commissioner has correctly pointed out. In light of the fact that there are considerable costs involved in all new equipment, the equipment used should of course be both cheap and reliable. If insurance companies respond to the call to take into account the use of eCall, this will be a further incentive to speed up introduction of the initiative. It is true that some question marks remain over the implementation of the eCall system. The proposed resolution calls for the process to be speeded up, whereby the system could be launched by the target year of 2009. Ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, it is rare that Members from almost all of the groups clearly welcome a report. We have witnessed that today. If reducing the number of victims of road accidents really is an important issue to you, I call on you to support the proposed resolution."@en1
