Road safety: 4000 fewer people lost their lives on EU roads in 2020 as death rate falls to all time low
On 20 April 2021, the European Commission published preliminary figures on road fatalities for 2020. An estimated 18 800 people were killed in a road crash last year, an unprecedented annual fall of 17% on 2019. This means almost 4 000 fewer people lost their lives on EU roads in 2020 compared to 2019. Lower traffic volumes, as the result of the Covid-19 pandemic, had a clear, though unmeasurable, impact on the number of road fatalities. Commissioner for Transport Adina Vălean said: “With almost 4 000 fewer deaths on EU roads in 2020 compared to 2019, our roads remain the safest in the world. Still, we are behind our target for the last decade and joint action is needed to prevent a return to pre-COVID levels. In our Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, we have reiterated our commitment to implementing the EU road safety strategy and bringing down the death toll for all modes of transport close to zero.”

U-Space package
The European Commission adopted on 22 April 2021 the U-space package – three regulations that together create the conditions necessary for both drones and manned aircraft to operate safely in the section of our airspace known as the U-space. These regulations introduce new services for drone operators, allowing them to carry out more complex and longer-distance operations, particularly in congested, low-level airspace, below 120m, and when out of sight.
