Ari Vatanen, raporteur on the European Road Safety Action Programme: Halving the number of road accident victims in the European Union by 2010: A shared responsibility.
"Regrets the fact that the common emergency number 112 is not known to all Europeans;
calls on the Commission and the Member States to evaluate current awareness of the
single European emergency call number on the part of the European public and the quality
of the services provided to citizens in distress via this number; invites the Commission
and the Member States to propose measures based on that evaluation to improve the
situation in the European Union"
