Road Safety Action Programme

Halving the number of road accident victims in the European Union by 2010: A shared responsibility

This communication was announced in the White Paper on European transport policy approved by the Commission on 12 September 2001. Essentially, this programme sets out, with the requisite level of detail, specific measures in accordance with what the Commission has already endorsed, and reaffirms the overall of halving the number of road accident victims by 2010.

To ensure a sharing of responsibilities, and in accordance with the competences of each party involved (EU, Member States, regional and local authorities, industry, transport companies and private users), this programme aims to encourage road users to improve their behaviour, to make vehicle safer, and to improve road infrastructure. It provides for the setting up of a European Road Safety Observatory within the Commission. Lastly, it proposes that all the parties concerned, whether public or private, should subscribe to a European Road Safety Charter.
