"The Commission shares the view of the honourable Member that texting while driving, like all extraneous activities, is extremely dangerous. In 2009, the Commission issued a report on the use of mobile phones when driving. This report is published on the Europa road safety website. However, we have no statistics on the number of accidents caused by this practice.
All Member States have legislation which, at least implicitly, prohibits texting, e-mailing and web browsing while driving. While not specifically referring to the use of mobile phones, legal provisions in domestic legislation state that drivers must be fully concentrated on driving. Against this background, the Commission does not intend to introduce an additional layer of EU-wide legislation in order to ban the practices of texting, e-mailing and web browsing while driving a motorised vehicle. We hope that Member States will deal with this issue adequately."@en1
