"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, 35 000 people were killed in 2009. The target that we set ourselves of halving the annual number of deaths has not been met. This report is a timely response to an urgent need for action. It proposes original and innovative solutions, especially via life-long education and training, as well as improvements to infrastructure.
I wish to raise two points in the very brief time that I am allowed.
As my colleague has just pointed out, a zero alcohol limit for new drivers in the first two years and at all times for professional drivers is an altogether positive and realistic measure, since a scientific margin of error will now be permitted, thereby enabling this mechanism to be applied.
As for drink-driving, I support the call for alcolocks to be fitted to all new commercial passenger and goods transport vehicles.
Finally, given the importance of the debate on subsidiarity, I would like to stress in this case too that, behind these worthy measures, there lies the fact, let us not forget, that millions of Europeans are today highly mobile and that harmonisation is a necessity."@en1
