"Earlier today, we voted in favour of the general introduction of eCall, an in-vehicle emergency call system. This system, which is public and open, could contribute significantly to reducing the road death toll. That is why we have been advocating it since 2003. Unfortunately, for commercial reasons, car manufacturing lobbies want to impose private optional systems, which was supported by France’s former government which did not wish to invest in the scheme, and by several French MEPs from the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats). Saving a life does indeed have a financial cost, but it is our duty as European law makers to show that, with a high-performance safety system, the EU can and must protect citizens. We are now waiting for the Commission to propose legislation quickly so that the system can become operational throughout the European Union by 2015."@en1
