In 2008, 39,000 European citizens died in road accidents. The EU objective to halve the number of deaths in road accidents by 2010 (i.e. 27,000 deaths) will be a difficult target to achieve. The European Commission is hosting a conference on 2 December 2009 on the results of the public consultation preceding the drafting of the European Road Safety Action Programme 2011-2020. More than 400 stakeholders with different backgrounds will discuss the problems and the state of play in road safety in the European Union. |
