"The 36% reduction in 2001-2009 in the number of fatalities in the European Union fell short of the objective of cutting the number of fatalities to half the average recorded at the time, set by the EU in 2001 following the publication of the Green Paper on European transport policy. This directive aims to institutionalise the exchange of information between the Member States on vehicle registrations, also enabling serious road accidents to be judged throughout the Union, and guaranteeing equality for citizens before the law, regardless of the Member State in which they reside.
I believe the Union’s roads will be safer when the directive is applied, and this is a very important first step towards increasing road safety. In this new system, the authorities in the country where the offence was committed will be able to send a letter to notify the person responsible of the type of infraction and the applicable penalties, as well as of the potential legal solutions and consequences of the act. Fines will be levied in accordance with the rules of the Member State in which the crime was committed. I voted in favour of this report for all these reasons."@en1
