Commissioner Barrot receives the VOICE Personality Award
VOICE - "Vulnerable road user organisations in cooperation across Europe"
The first VOICE Award has been awarded to European Commission Vice President and Commissioner for Transport, Mr. Jacques Barrot. This Award is given for his commitment to the European Parliament at his confirmation hearing in September 2004 – repeated on his Commission web page
– that “improving road safety will be one of [his] top priorities” during his term of office.
The Award is an original drawing, which shows Commission Vice President and Commissioner for Transport "ironing" a road, in reference to his efforts to make roads safer also for vulnerable road users.
The Award takes the form of an original cartoon drawn by artist Dagmara Pater.
