"I voted in favour of this resolution, because the single European emergency number must function effectively, even in the remotest corner of Europe, so that, in the event of an accident, it is possible to call the emergency services free of charge. This is a vitally important service which must be of a particularly high quality. This emergency number must become the best means of protecting people’s lives, and consequently needs to receive proper funding. Emergency services in every Member State must receive accurate and reliable caller location information, so that an emergency response can be provided in a timely manner. It is very important to ensure that vulnerable social groups and disabled people have suitable access to these services. Issues relating to technology and coordination need to be addressed as a matter of urgency. The number of unsuccessful emergency-call attempts must be reduced to a minimum, while call set-up and response times need to be lightning fast, because sometimes even a few seconds can mean the difference between life and death. Every European must know this number. Every Member State must increase public awareness, by using the media and other awareness-raising measures. The Member States must also cooperate more effectively with each other, by exchanging information and best practices. In the meantime, the Commission must take steps at EU level to develop a communication strategy, and establish key performance indicators and guidelines."@en1
