"Road safety is a major issue for society and a vital aspect of EU-level transport policy. The harmonised implementation of an interoperable pan-European in-vehicle emergency call system has been on the Commission’s agenda since 2005, but has only become a priority now. According to the official statistics about eCall, it is estimated that the system’s complete integration into cars in EU Member States will save roughly 2 500 lives every year, while also reducing the severity of injuries by 10-15%.
The eCall system will be a great help to road users who are unfamiliar with the roads and their exact location in the case of an accident. It will also allow emergency calls to be made without language difficulties, based on the digital data enclosed in the Minimum Set of Data (MSD) message format, which should reduce misunderstandings. I think that every effort needs to be made so that the implementation of eCall is made compulsory in every Member State and it becomes a reliable, high-quality, affordable and easy-to-use service across the whole of the European Union."@en1
