"Although, since 1991, the European emergency number 112 has enabled the saving of lives and better protection of citizens, most of them are still unaware of this number. This report makes some interesting proposals to ensure broader awareness of 112 among citizens; for example, using airports and stations, as well as surgeries and pharmacies, as privileged points for disseminating information on 112.
The report also calls on the Commission and the Member States to step up their efforts in order to increase awareness of 112 among disabled people using means of communication that are well-adapted to their needs. That is the basic principle behind an idea that I supported through an amendment while the draft report was being scrutinised in the parliamentary committee, and I am pleased that it has been retained in the final report.
The report also calls on the Commission and the Member States to facilitate citizens’ access to this number – in particular by considering the possibility of using text messages – as well as to improve the quality of emergency services – in particular by shortening intervention times and by developing geolocation for callers. I think that this is crucial."@en1
