REDUCING TRAFFIC INJURIES IN EU COUNTRIES - A STRATEGIC APPROACH

Political and legal developments in the European Union over the last few years are bringing about new opportunities for international action on road safety and as a result a common road safety policy is slowly emerging. This paper outlines these developments against the backdrop of the road casualty problem in the European Union and discusses how they are shaping the role of the EU in road safety. It discusses steps taken so far to embark upon common action and presents the European Transport Safety Council's view that the time is now right for the development of a strategic road safety plan for the EU. This would provide a comprehensive framework for common, mutually beneficial, research-based action across a range of fields.
