Abstract

This Memorandum briefly outlines ETSC’s priorities for the Hungarian Presidency of the EU and presents our recommendations on key EU policy dossiers. Hungary sits in the middle of Europe and is one of the most important transit countries. Hungary has moved from 121 deaths per million population in 2001 to 82 in 2009. Although this reduction in deaths is laudable, the number of road deaths per population in 2009 is still above the EU average of 70. In the first 9 months of 2010 the number of deaths decreased by 13%. Much work still needs to be done to reach the quantitative goal of the new National Road Safety Plan which is fully in line with that of the EU. Key issues include inappropriate speed, drinking and driving, non-wearing of safety belts. Efforts must also be made to increase the safety of the vulnerable road users. (Author/publisher)
