ETSC has recently published the Memorandum to the Greek Presidency of the Council of the European Union titled ‘Road safety priorities for the EU in 2014’. In this Memorandum, ETSC outlines its recommendations on the key EU road safety policy dossiers to be steered by the Greek presidency of the European Union in the first half of 2014. These include securing agreements on EU legislation on automated in-vehicle emergency calling (eCall) and safer lorry design. The main recent and forthcoming policy initiatives from the European Commission including progress on in-vehicle safety technologies such as Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) for professional vehicles and alcohol interlocks for certain vehicle and driver categories, are also included, with recommendations for maximising the results for road safety. The final part of this Memorandum focuses on Greece’s own track record on road safety with recommendations for improvement.
