"Madam President, allow me to suggest that the eCall scheme should not be treated as a scheme that has already been finalised and is to be put to the vote together with specific amendments. I believe it should be dealt with instead as an idea that is still at the general stage. In this instance we are involved in an extremely valuable parliamentary procedure which does not involve endeavouring to adjust legal provisions to reality as we perceive it. On the contrary, it is about first trying to create the reality. In a sense, therefore, this is a kind of experiment, and it is never possible to predict the results of an experiment during its initial stages. I therefore support all the comments made with a view to reducing the number of amendments as much as possible. It is not appropriate to make provision at this stage for what will only become clear in practice. The eCall scheme is a particularly valuable initiative. Nonetheless, I am fully aware of the need for the second link in this chain of communications to function correctly if all the benefits of the initiative are to be felt. I am referring to the medical emergency services. I realise we are not dealing with the latter at present, but when I think of the shortcomings of Poland’s medical emergency services I cannot but be concerned. Nonetheless, it does seem to me that if Parliament adopts the eCall idea, this could act as a significant incentive to improve medical emergency services in Poland and elsewhere. We must rise to this challenge because what is at stake is priceless. It is no less than the life of human beings. We cannot fail to support all measures aimed at saving human life and it is abundantly clear that the eCall scheme is one such measure."@en1
