  • [01] European Road Safety Charter

  • [01] European Road Safety Charter

    The European Road Safety Charter was presented at the European Parliament's headquarters in Athens on Wednesday. It is an initiative aimed at reducing deaths in the European Union by 50 percent by the year 2010 and saving 25,000 lives a year.

    "We still have a long way to go. We must wage the battle, utilising the experience of the other countries of the EU and we must influence the mentality of the citizens," Transport and Communications Minister Costas Hatzidakis said on the occasion, and announced a series of new measures that will reverse the country's unfavourable factors on the issue of road safety.

    Hatzidakis said that it is a life challenge for all that must be handled very seriously in Greece as well, that has much higher death rates than the European average.

    Main points have already been promoted with the 2nd strategic framework on Road Safety for the 2006-2010 period, such as the new traffic code that has begun to produce results since, as it appears from data concerning the last six months in 2007, the victims of traffic accidents have decreased by 13 percent compared to the same period in the previous year.
