"No one doubts that Europe’s roads have become substantially safer in recent years. Between 2001 and 2009, the number of road deaths in the EU fell by 36%. The Third European Road Safety Action Programme 2001-2010 was instrumental in bringing about that reduction. Since 2001, almost 80 000 lives have been saved as a result of the progress made. Although the target of halving the annual number of deaths has not been met, the figures are very encouraging. Despite all of that, 35 000 people died on Europe’s roads in 2009 and 1.5 million were seriously injured, many of whom were left disabled. The social and economic cost of these road accidents is huge: roughly EUR 130 billion in 2009. In addition to that, there is the loss of life, the grief of the victims’ families, the suffering of the injured and the dramatic changes to the lives of accident victims."@en1
