"Private in-vehicle emergency call services were introduced in Europe in the late 90s. Despite the fact that these services have fully demonstrated their usefulness, deployment in Europe is below 0.4% of the vehicle fleet. In addition, private emergency call services do not cover all countries in Europe: when vehicles travel into countries where the service is not provided by the private party, the service is discontinued. In view of this, the Commission decided to take legislative action to introduce a mandatory eCall. The benefits of introducing such systems for citizens are clear: a reduction in the number of fatalities and the mitigation of the severity of injuries caused by road accidents due to faster arrival of the emergency services on the accident scene and shorter rescue times, which will enable the accident scene to be cleared more quickly, lessening the impact of accidents on traffic and reducing the risk of further accidents at the scene. I welcome the introduction of eCall, provided that any added in-vehicle application based on the eCall platform complies with the regulations on data protection and privacy."@en1
