"Madam President, the European Road Safety Action Programme Mid-Term Review is a significant document. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people all over the world lose their lives as a result of road accidents. Better preventive measures must be devised to deal with this tragedy.
In my view, the following actions are very important: harmonising and implementing road traffic legislation across the European Union, increasing penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (the latter being a new phenomenon), developing good educational programmes for young people, and using all available means of improving safety. I have in mind improving the quality of roads and roadsurfaces and developing plans for upgrading roads and eliminating dangerous sections. I also think that stricter technical requirements for road building should be introduced. For example, all trans-European routes should have at least six lanes.
I would like to thank Mrs Petersen, the rapporteur, for an excellent report."@en1
