Position Papers ETSC Response to First Milestone Towards an Injury Strategy ETSC sets out its response to the new document published by the European Commission Towards a Serious Injury Strategy published in March. ETSC commends the European Commission for announcing a common definition of serious injuries in road traffic collisions: improving the quality of data about seriously injured survivors of road collisions will help in designing more effective safety policies. ETSC eagerly looks forward to the next steps of setting up a full Serious Injury Strategy and an EU target for reduction of serious injuries by 2020.	May 2013
Position Papers CARS 2020 ETSC Contribution May 2013 This paper explores the contribution of vehicle safety and CARS 2020 to the EU 2020 road safety target of halving road deaths.	May 2013
Press Release Safer Streets for Pedestrians: ETSC addresses European Road Safety Day Pedestrians represent 20% of all road deaths in the EU. 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
Position Papers ETSC Position on Flight Time Limitations As a response to the new EASA proposal on Flight Time Limitations, ETSC would like to share its position, contributing to the debate and ongoing legislative process with factual research based guidance. The paper looks at the provisions related to Flight Duty Periods, extensions of aircrew flight duty times, as well as a standby times and disruptive schedules. ETSC also argues for stronger emphasis on the need for robust Fatigue Risk Management Systems and encourages policy makers to take into account the scientific evidence available. A timeline of the Flight Time Limitations rules in the EU is available here.	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 Students awarded for local projects to reduce speed "We are delighted to reward the work of these committed students.

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.

Policy Papers Drink Driving: Towards Zero Tolerance	April 2012
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
