EENA & the EU
EENA has been actively working to promote the idea of a better known, efficient and transparent 112 service chain throughout the European Union by advocating action at Eu and national level. Since 2003 EENA has been introducing complaints and petitions with the European Commission, the European Ombudsman and the European Parliament to help them understand the importance of the 112 for European Citizens. Following a petition to the European Parliament in 2006, several MEPs have been working in close collaboration with the EENA to improve the knowledge and the efficiency of the 112 within the EU. In 2007 and 2008, 2 Written Declarations were adopted with the support of the EENA. The Written Declaration on the European emergency number 112 stills holds the record of signatures (530).

Ari Vatanen, raporteur on 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"
Luís Queiro, raporteur on new prospects and new challenges for sustainable European tourism report
