lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I should first like to welcome this Commission initiative, and to congratulate Mr Titley on his outstanding report and on the dynamism that he brought to the discussions in committee. The time has come to bring fresh prominence to the issue of road safety, given that 42 000 lives a year are lost on the roads, as was mentioned earlier, a figure that must be brought down. Introducing this system will guarantee a faster response to accidents and could help to reduce accidents and deaths on our roads by half. Accordingly, this is an objective that should unite the whole Union and all Member States, starting with my own country, which needs to act more quickly to assume its responsibilities. In this regard, I should like to point out that the Commission’s statement refers to studies that the Member States are to carry out. I hope that the fact that the Portuguese, Spanish and French outermost regions are not mentioned does not mean that the implementation of the system has been postponed in these regions, which are the hardest hit by permanent handicaps. I feel that this should be an EU-wide implementation and as such should cover these regions. A further aspect that emerged from the talks was the safeguarding of the right to privacy. I feel, moreover, that this report has brought a new dimension to the issue of road safety, in terms of preventing accidents and enhancing and developing infrastructure and equipment for accident victims, whereby important help is offered to people injured in vehicle accidents. Consequently, this initiative is very much in the interest of the EU and the Member States."@en1
