"The increase in personal mobility within the EU is inevitably leading to a growth in the volume of traffic on our roads. Violations of a wide range of road traffic rules, such as exceeding speed limits, failing to wear a safety belt or drink-driving, are causing large numbers of serious accidents. In 2001, the European Union set itself the ambitious target of reducing the number of road fatalities by half, which it was not able to achieve. Subsequently, the EU called for cross-border prosecutions for traffic offences. However, the individual Member States are not obliged to pass on information and the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark have even rejected the directive. I voted in favour of the report because I believe that the rapporteur has taken a sensible approach by reintroducing certain elements, such as the original legal basis in the transport sector."@en1
