Road safety in Europe – Commission releases review
Preventing death, injury and disability caused by road accidents has been a serious preoccupation of the EC. The goal is to halve the number of deaths by 2020, as compared to 2010. The EC review released on 24 March 2015, however, reports a decrease of just 1% in road fatalities in 2014 compared to the previous year, when the decline had been 8%. The number of deaths varies greatly from one country to another.
