The Road Injuries Consultation Report of the European Commission is now available. The public consultation was launched as part of an initiative to reduce the number and the severity of road traffic injuries. This initiative is one of the strategic objectives outlined in the Policy Orientations on Road Safety 2011-2020, and a priority for EU action. Accordingly, the European Commission is developing a comprehensive strategy of action concerning road traffic injuries, with the assistance of relevant actors. The findings of the public consultation clearly indicate that road safety is regarded as a priority on the political agenda. Target setting and support of exchange of best practises are seen as the two areas with the highest EU added value, while research and project funding, legislation and data analysis are following slightly behind.
