Agreement on the first 'Europe on the Move' proposal: Modernising the European Electronic Toll Service
The European Parliament and the Council reached a provisional political agreement on the 'European Electronic toll service' (EETS). The proposal is part of the First Mobility Package for clean, competitive and connected mobility, adopted by the Commission in May 2017. The Directive pursues the objective of making it possible to pay tolls in the whole EU with only one subscription contract and a single on-board device. At the same time, it facilitates the identification of road users who have failed to pay a road fee. This European initiative will enhance cross-border interoperability of electronic tolls, contribute to administrative simplification and reduce fraud.

Road fatalities in 2017
25 260 was the number of road fatalities in 2017. For the second year in a row, this number has decreased by 2% compared to the previous year. Nonetheless, further action is needed if we are to reach close to zero fatalities and serious injuries by 2050. That is why the Commission has adopted a new policy framework on road safety for the decade to come, accompanied by a Strategic Action Plan.
