"Figures from 2009 demonstrate that a devastating number of people are killed on Europe’s roads: more than 35 000 people died and 1.5 million people were seriously injured, many of whom were left permanently disabled. Publication of these figures has led Parliament to call for a plan of action for road safety to be drafted, as a matter of urgency. Of the measures included in the report, I should like to highlight the standardisation of road signs and road traffic rules in the EU, and of the blood alcohol limit. It is also suggested that alcolocks be fitted to all commercial passenger and goods transport vehicles, and that greater importance be attached to lifelong learning. The objectives set out for Europe’s roads are ambitious, but they are necessary because of the loss of lives caused by a lack of road safety. Coordination among the Member States and the Commission should be the cornerstone of the entire strategy, so I am in favour of creating a road safety coordinator role within the Commission to ensure multilevel coordination. It is also important that the Member States improve their statistical indicators, so that these can be progressively harmonised and intelligent vehicles developed."@en1
