"I voted for this text because too many Europeans are still dying on our roads each year. Globally, it is the leading cause of death among young people aged 15 to 29. In its White Paper on European transport policy (2001), the Commission had the commendable objective of cutting by half the number of casualties on roads by 2010, but since 2005, the drop in the number of casualties has slowed down. In the Union, one of the problems is that the sanctions relating to offences committed in a Member State other than that of the driver are often dropped. This impunity weakens road safety objectives.
It was therefore essential to legislate in order to remove this inconsistency, by facilitating the application of sanctions against drivers who commit the most dangerous offences outside their own Member State."@en1
