Briefing The Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) - Safeguarding Safety The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is a trade agreement that is currently being negotiated between the European Union and the United States. It aims to remove trade barriers in a wide range of economic sectors including passenger cars. The EU and the U.S. also want to tackle barriers such as differences in technical regulations, standards and approval procedures. ETSC stresses that, it is essential that common vehicle safety standards are moved up, not down. ETSC emphasises that there is an urgent need to compare the different standards so as to work out item by item which standards are higher and suited to the EU. ETSC calls on the EC not to rush into merging the two vehicle safety standards and approaches. Both need to be evaluated and assessed carefully. The EU should not allow a harmonisation with U.S. standards unless EU vehicle safety standards can be matched or bettered.	March 2014

Press release Boost for Intelligent Speed Assistance in EU Commercial Vehicles "ETSC welcomes today's publication as a next significant step in rolling out Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) technologies in the EU. Speed is the biggest risk factor leading to deaths and injuries on EU roads. Action to observe better compliance with speed limits across the EU is fundamental if we are serious about reducing the unacceptably high toll - in terms of loss of life and limb as well as material costs - of traffic collisions," said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director.

Press release EU Cross Border Enforcement Directive Comes into Force "Today should mark the beginning of a fairer system of following up road traffic offences. The Directive should bring no change for law-abiding drivers across the Union. ETSC believes it is only fair for authorities to enforce the prevailing traffic laws on all those travelling on the roads," said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director. The 7^th of November is the Member States' deadline to transpose into their national legislation the provisions of Directive 2011/82/EU.	November 2013

Press release European Parliament includes powered two-wheelers in periodical technical inspection regime "Today's vote shows the European Parliament's commitment towards improving the safety of a group of road users which face some of the highest risks [on EU roads]," said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director. The Members of the European Parliament decided to seek an agreement with the Council of Ministers and voted on a series of amendments to the Commission proposals, which effectively amount to a negotiation mandate with Member States' representatives. "We currently have only 16 countries mandating periodic roadworthiness tests for PTWs, while the others do not. By harmonising these rules across the EU we can begin to address the disparity of risks faced by these road users, at least to some extent," said Mr. Avenoso.	July 2013
Press release Lithuanian Presidency makes road safety a priority "We are in the unique situation where the two countries succeeding each other in holding the EU Presidency have been recognised for their respective efforts to improve road safety. ETSC can only hope the commitment and leadership which led to winning the 2011 Road Safety PIN Award will also be present in the Lithuanian Presidency team's handling of the important road safety dossiers coming up in the second half of 2013," said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director.

As many as 6,900 pedestrians were killed in the EU27 in 2009 alone; 80,800 since 2001. We are all pedestrians but we are not all safe. Big disparities exist between countries with much potential for saving lives and preventing serious injuries. The safety of walking needs special attention if public health and our environment are to be improved by encouraging these forms of active travel.	May 2013

Press release Goods and passenger transport vehicles give reason for concern despite drop in deaths In the European Union 4,254 people lost their lives in collisions involving heavy goods vehicles, 3,999 in collisions with light goods vehicles and 722 in collisions involving buses or coaches, out of the total number of 30,239 road deaths recorded in 2011. "Progress in reducing deaths in collisions with heavy goods vehicles and buses has been faster than the general reduction of road deaths in the EU. However, the number of deaths per distance travelled for heavy goods vehicles, as well as buses and coaches, is larger than for the average vehicle fleet, so we urge the EU and Member States to maintain their focus on these vehicles. The deaths in such collisions add an important dimension of externalities to the transport of goods and passengers," said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director.	April 2013

Press release En route to a European strategy for serious injuries on the roads "ETSC commends the European Commission for announcing a common definition of serious injuries in road traffic collisions. We are hopeful the Commission will build on this important step with a strategy including a target and concrete actions for follow-up and monitoring of Member States' progress," said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director. "The common definition is the first step in tackling the unacceptably high number of serious injuries on EU roads. We know that speed, alcohol and drugs and failure to wear a seatbelt are the three main killers on the roads. But these risk factors do not only kill, they also injure, impair and maim," Mr. Avenoso said. "We strongly believe the European Commission must come forward with an EU reduction target for serious injuries. A 35% reduction in the number of road traffic serious injuries over the period 2014-2020 would be both challenging and achievable for the Member States," concluded Mr. Avenoso.	March 2013

Press release One Year of the Decade of Action: Pressure Must Stay High to Make Roads Safer On this day one year ago, the United Nations launched the Decade of Action for Road Safety, an ambitious commitment aimed at reducing the worrying global trend of an increase in risk on the roads. The World Health Organisation put the writing on the wall by estimating that by 2030 road traffic injuries would become the fifth leading cause of death. One year into the Decade of Action, many good initiatives have been taken already and there are good signals that allow ETSC to believe that the goal of stabilising and subsequently reducing the global number of road traffic deaths can be reached.

Press release ETSC urges for zero tolerance to alcohol on EU roads Drink driving unfortunately remains one of the three main killers on our roads. We must all take action to reduce this unacceptable behaviour which claims so many lives every year, said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director during the event dedicated to tackling drink driving. Siim Kallas, European Commission Vice-President responsible for Transport, delivered the keynote address at the conference. It is unacceptable for 85 people to die every day on Europe's roads. Alcohol-impaired road users are still involved in about a quarter of all fatal crashes in Europe. This is a very worrying situation. But if we work together to raise awareness, to enforce the rules better and to change people's driving habits, then we can truly make a difference in bringing down the number of road deaths, said Mr. Kallas.

I can only hope this cold shower will reinvigorate the European Commission and governments and help them get back on track to reach the EU 2020 road safety target. Since 2010 - when the European Road Safety Policy Orientations were published - we have yet to see any new legislative proposal from the Commission. We have a bold speech, we now have to translate the commitments of the Policy Orientations into concrete actions, said Mr. Avenoso.	March 2012
