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.	6 May 2013

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.	17 April 2013
New Truck Cabin Design Could Save Lives in Europe Today the European Commission has proposed new rules to allow manufacturers to develop more aerodynamic lorries and alter the design of cabins to introduce an energy-absorbing deformable vehicle front. Thus the proposals will enhance visibility which will also improve the safety of vulnerable road users. ETSC signals a first cautious welcome of these efforts to improve the safety of Heavy Good Vehicles.	15 April 2013

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.	19 March 2013
Students awarded for local projects to reduce speed "We are delighted to reward the work of these committed students. Their work is proof that low-cost measures to reduce speed have a high life-saving potential when they are implemented clearly at targeted sites," said Ellen Townsend, ETSC Policy Director during the Award Ceremony for STARS projects.	19 March 2013
Irish Presidency of the EU: Road Safety in the Spotlight "Ireland, as one of the recipients of the PIN Road Safety Award in 2010, has been recognised internationally as one of the good performers in the EU. We have high-hopes the Presidency team will bring their political leadership to the fore at a time when road safety must be highlighted as a priority area for policy makers," said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director.	18 January 2013

European Parliament Approves tighter Safety Requirements for Powered Two-Wheelers "The new Regulation on the type-approval and market surveillance of powered two and three wheel vehicles (PTWs) has a high potential to improve road safety, both in general and for the road users of these specific types of vehicles," said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director following the European Parliament's vote on the Commission's legislative proposal.	20 November 2012
CARS2020: An Encouraging Blueprint that Needs Follow-up "ETSC welcomes the publication of the Action Plan for the European automotive industry," said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director. In order to significantly improve safety on EU roads and to reach the EU target of no more than 15,500 road deaths, the cars driven in the EU must become safer. "ETSC welcomes the Commission's stated ambition to promote eCall systems. Moreover, The CARS2020 Action Plan identifies intelligent speed management devices and seatbelt reminders, a particularly positive development. We urge the European Commission to follow up the Action Plan with the appropriate legislative proposals for the full-scale deployment of these life-saving technologies," said Mr. Avenoso.	9 November 2012
New International Standard for Road Safety Management for Employers The publication of the new ISO 39001:2012 standard is a welcomed and much-needed development. We are happy to see that employers in SMEs, large-sized companies and public authorities now have a clear set of guidelines to help them improve road safety management, said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director. Adoption of the new standard provides employers not only with a quality label, but it also shows they are responsible actors in their community as a whole on reducing road risk, he added.	4 October 2012
Demerit Point Systems save lives Recommendations on how to get the best out of a Demerit Point System are presented today at the BESTPOINT conference. High levels of police enforcement, combined with regular communication campaigns, are key elements to sustain the deterrent effect of Demerit Point Systems.

Cross Border Enforcement On the Road Vice President of the European Commission, Mr. Kallas, reassured Members of the European Parliament , that the Commission, as guardian of the Treaty, will take all necessary measures to ensure the transposition of the Directive on cross-border enforcement of legislation.	31 August 2012
Cyprus Presidency of the EU: High Time to Address Serious Injuries on Our Roads With Cyprus assuming the rotating Presidency of the Council of the EU, we have high hopes that road safety will be a priority policy-area for the Union, said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director. We hope the Cyprus Presidency will successfully work to support the European Commission towards adopting an EU Strategy to reduce serious injuries occurring on EU roads. There is considerable work ahead in adopting a common EU definition of serious injuries, as well as a set of measures which would lead to a significant reduction in their number, he added.	2 July 2012
Hungary Receives Road Safety PIN Award 2012 "It is my pleasure to present this year's PIN Award to Hungary. Since 2006, the countries that have received the PIN Award have lived up to our expectations and I am positive the Hungarian experience will provide a strong impetus and the motivation needed to augment road safety efforts, for both its neighbours and the EU as a whole, " said Mr. Avenoso. The Award for Hungary was jointly received by Dr. László Felkai, State Secretary at the Ministry of Interior, and Mr. Zoltán Schváb, Deputy State Secretary responsible for infrastructure at the Ministry of National Development.	20 June 2012
Reduction in Road Deaths Slows Down in 2011 "Last year's progress in reducing road deaths is quite far short of what we've seen in the previous years in the EU, " said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director during the 6th Annual PIN Conference. Road deaths were cut by just 3% in 2011 compared with 2010. "Combined efforts at both national and EU level must be stepped up, " he added.	20 June 2012

European Commission Recognises Life Saving Potential of Speed Management Technologies The European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) welcomes the European Commission's recognition of Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) systems' potential to improve road safety in the EU. The Commission stated that 'Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) systems that inform the driver about the speed limit at any moment can contribute to improved road safety, since they may prevent the driver from inadvertently exceeding the speed limit.'	30 May 2012

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.	10 May 2012
ETSC Launches a New Resource for Work Related Road Safety The Annual PRAISE Awards for road safety at work were presented to Royal Dutch Shell and VolkerRail Ltd. We congratulate the two prestigious winners of the awards for their inspiring efforts in tackling work related road risk. Royal Dutch Shell and VolkerRail are praised today because they demonstrate how improving road safety can be integrated into day-to-day business practices and that investing in road safety does indeed pay for itself said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director, the awards ceremony chair.

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.

EU Receives Wake-up Call to Address Road Deaths The provisional numbers of road deaths for 2011 the European Commission released yesterday are a tough reality check for the state of road safety in the EU, said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director. Yesterday's announcement came in with a stark reminder that there is no room for complacency, even after several years of good progress. 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.	30 March 2012
French authorities and companies exchange good practices on work related road safety This international seminar is a great opportunity for all those present to recognise that employers have a great deal to gain by managing the road safety of their employees, said Ellen Townsend, ETSC Policy Director, during the PRAISE seminar.	8 March 2012
Students awarded for improving road safety It is a real pleasure for us to show what motivated students can do to improve road safety. The projects implemented are the perfect proof that road safety can be increased also with low-cost measures when these measures are targeted at clearly identified sites, said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director during the Award Ceremony for the Roads to Respect and STARS projects. Event photos:	31 January 2012
Danish Presidency of the EU: Time to Advance Road Safety at the EU Level We look forward to the six-month Danish stint at the helm of the EU Council of Ministers as a time to advance road safety on the political agenda, said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director. We ask the Danish Presidency to work closely with both the European Commission and the European Parliament to advance EU legislation on the TEN-T and tachograph which hold a potential to save the lives of road users across the EU.	10 January 2012
Young men four times more likely to die on EU roads than young women Young people are among the groups facing the highest risks of dying while on the road. The latest Road Safety Performance Index (PIN) Flash also reveals that young males are a particularly problematic group, making up 81% of the number of young people killed on EU roads.	29 November 2011
Driving for Work in the UK--Leadership Challenge The UK has some of the safest roads in the world and is well known as an innovator for safe driving for work. It should continue to work hard to maintain this top position and inspire others throughout the EU to adopt its well proven good practices, said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director.	15 November 2011
Annual Competition for Road Safety at Work in the EU The European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) has launched a new call for entries in its third annual competition on work related road safety. I hope this award will motivate employers to take on the challenge and reap the benefits of managing road safety as an integral part of their working practice. Introducing road safety measures makes good business sense, particularly in a tough economic climate when employers should want to cut the costs of collisions in their vehicle fleets, said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director.	3 November 2011
EU Infrastructure Investments to Be Conditional on Road Safety Today the European Commission unveiled its overhaul of the guidelines for the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) and a new financing mechanism. We welcome the prioritisation of road safety when promoting projects of common interest. We now urge the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers to acknowledge the importance of granting EU funding only to sectors of the road TEN-T network compliant with the Infrastructure Safety Directive and the Tunnel Safety Directive, said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director.	19 October 2011
ETSC Project to Improve Safety of Cyclists Today ETSC launches its newest project aimed to reduce the number of road deaths on European roads. BIKE PAL will strive to increase the level of safety for cyclists throughout the EU. BIKE PAL will try to be the best friend of cyclists, said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director. BIKE PAL receives financial support from the European Commission Directorate General for Mobility and Transport.	4 October 2011
Final EU Approval for New Road Safety Legislation ETSC strongly welcomes the final approval by the Council of Ministers, which comes as the last step in the adoption process of the Cross-Border Enforcement Directive. The text approved by the EU ministers is a compromise that was hammered out after negotiations with the European Parliament before the summer break. Member states will need to implement the provisions of the Directive within two years. The Directive plugs an important gap in the enforcement of traffic laws across the EU and we believe it will make a good contribution towards halving road deaths during the 2011-2020 decade, said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director.	29 September 2011
European Parliament Asks the Commission to Do More on Road Safety This European Parliament report shows the commitment of legislature to further improve road safety in the European Union, said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director upon the plenary adoption of the European Parliament own initiative report on European road safety.

It also shows a good level of commitment to the target of halving road deaths for the 2011-2020 decade.	6 July 2011
Polish Presidency of the EU: Time to Start Work towards the 2020 Road Safety Target The Polish Presidency should view road safety as a way to help the EU economy regain its competitiveness. Societal costs resulting from road deaths can be reduced by significant amounts, higher than the bailout package currently under discussion for Greece, declared Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director.	1 July 2011

Lithuania Receives PIN Road Safety Award 2011 - Road Deaths Cut by 58% in Lithuania since 2001 It is my pleasure to give the PIN Award this year to Lithuania and Sweden.

Sweden Receives Road Safety PIN Award 2011 - Road Deaths Cut by 50 % in Sweden since 2001 Sweden embodies the reason why we think that ambitious targets should be set.

We see the perfect example that road deaths can be cut in any country, regardless of the starting point, said Antonio Avenoso, ETSC Executive Director. The Award for Sweden was received by Catharina Elmsater-Svard, Minister for Infrastructure.	21 June 2011

These figures are a great cause for concern. Initiatives targeted at these types of road user will be crucial in reaching the new target of halving road deaths for the 2011-2020 decade, said Antonio Avenoso.	10 May 2011
