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.

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.
