Press Release: Better road safety: European Road Safety Days 2010

For the third time, European Road Safety Days are being held on 13 and 14 October 2010 in Brussels. On this occasion the European Commission is organising, in cooperation with the Belgian Presidency, a conference which will examine several issues: those injured in road accidents, the challenges facing different categories of road users, and infrastructure. The conference will attribute particular importance to the cross‑border fight against the offences which cause most deaths and will also be the occasion to present the strategic guidelines on European road safety policy for the period 2011‑20. Taking part alongside Siim Kallas, Commission Vice‑President in charge of transport, will be Mr Etienne Schouppe, Belgian Federal Minister for Mobility, and Mr Brian Simpson, Chair of the European Parliament's Transport and Tourism Committee.
