14 October 2010, Brussels - Experts and EU decision makers meet today in Brussels to discuss traffic law enforcement to save lives on European roads. ETSC will be amongst the speakers who will be devoting today to discuss the need to improve and strengthen EU co-operation as part of the European Road Safety Days organised the European Commission, in close collaboration with the Belgian EU-Presidency.
During this conference, a European Road Safety Village will be set up with the objective of presenting initiatives taken at Member State level, in prevention and traffic law enforcement. Road Traffic Police from different EU Member States and part of the TISPOL traffic police network will be explaining and demonstrating their important role in saving lives on European roads.
Speaking today at the Road Safety Days, ETSC Executive Director Antonio Avenoso stressed: The future of police co-operation across the borders and the safety of EU citizens depend on the Cross Border Directive to close the current gap of road safety and equal treatment. The discussions today will be an excellent opportunity to take this work forward and look at how traffic law enforcement will contribute to the new road safety target to reduce by 50% road traffic deaths in the EU by 2020.
