Will 2015 be a turning point for road safety in the EU?
A new briefing from ETSC has been published about road safety policy development foreseen for 2015.
2015 will be a critical year for road safety in Europe. With a new European Parliament and Commission up and running, and a midterm review of the EU's 2010-2020 road safety policy ongoing, will the EU continue its ten years of progress on cutting road deaths? These two policy briefings outline the main issues at stake.
The European Commission is currently reviewing its 'Road Safety Policy Orientations’, its 2010 framework for reducing road deaths by 50% by 2020. This short briefing reflects ETSC’s analysis of the measures that have been undertaken, and reminds policymakers of the need to redouble European efforts in the field of road safety and to strengthen and expand the scope of action needed to reach the 2020 target.
