ETSC Turns Twenty
ETSC news - 21 November 2013

Yet this anniversary should primarily constitute a reminder that a considerable number of people in Europe still die in transport every day, the majority of them on the roads. "We have seen encouraging progress, particularly in reducing the annual numbers of road deaths, but we should still remind ourselves of the major task at hand. Even if the EU target was reached, some 15,000 people would still die on the roads in 2020," said Antonio Avenoso, Executive Director.
