European Commission welcomes Stockholm Declaration on Road Safety

This week, government delegates from more than 80 countries met in Stockholm for the 3rd Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety to discuss how to step up ambition and improve road safety globally in the next decade. The Stockholm Declaration stresses the need for continued ambition, in particular by working towards a new global fatality reduction target, as the current target expires this year. The document will provide guidance up to 2030, focusing on international cooperation to improve road safety on a global level.

€53 million

This is the amount approved by the Commission for the investment by the Romanian government in charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. The state aid will “contribute to the fight against global warming, in line with the European Green Deal's objectives […] without unduly distorting competition.” The scheme will run over the period 2020-2025 and will cover urban, suburban, and rural areas of the country.
