lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, speaking as the Green shadow rapporteur on the De Backer report, we agree that any measures to improve road safety should be seriously investigated. The terrible death toll on European roads throws down a stark challenge to reduce deaths and injuries. However, our Group is not convinced that a mandatory EU-wide eCall system as currently prescribed is the best alternative. More lives could be saved, for example, if speed limits were cut by 10 km/hour. Such a policy would also be cheaper and would achieve real casualty reductions. We have concerns about the possibility of the EU having to co-fund the system, about data protection issues, and the increased likelihood of false alarms through the automated systems. Finally, the suggestion that the driver of the vehicle should be able to turn off the machine seems to undermine and complicate the entire idea. My Group will not be supporting either of the reports."@en1
