"Despite the drop in road traffic accidents, the EU still loses enough people to fill a town (35 000 victims) in fatal road traffic accidents every year. Road behaviour is certainly one of the reasons for these losses. However, no one can question the importance of well-constructed and modern road infrastructures in the effort to stop road traffic accidents. Unfortunately, numerous cofinanced road projects have been shelved or put on hold as a result of the economic crisis, due to a lack of funds for national contributions. This is the case in Greece, where road projects have been left half-finished for months. The own-initiative report, which I supported, recognises the modern-day challenges and proposes flexible procedures to facilitate the absorption of funds. At the same time, it recognises the need for quantitative targets for the Member States and the need to evaluate individual national policies by drafting and publishing national road safety plans on the basis of harmonised joint guidelines."@en1
