lpv:translated text	". In 2001, the European Union set itself the fairly ambitious objective of halving the number of persons killed on the roads by 2010. Although things started well, we soon began to see a slowdown in the progress made, which ended up stagnating last year (when around 43 000 people were killed on all the roads in the 27 Member States). As a result, we urgently need to stimulate pursuit of this target and create a new approach to European road safety policy. This welcome proposal is limited to the four offences which cause the most accidents and deaths on the road (75%) and which are common to all Member States: these are speeding, drink-driving, failure to wear a seatbelt and failure to stop at red lights. To date, there has been a widespread feeling of impunity, as in most cases any sanctions end up not having any effect. In a Europe without internal borders, this situation is unacceptable as we cannot allow different treatment of citizens depending on whether or not they are residents. The law must be applied equally to all citizens. At the same time, we must improve road safety in order to reduce the number of deaths on European roads."@en1
