Abstract

In this Memorandum, ETSC wishes to outline its priorities on road safety for the Lithuanian Presidency of the EU and to present its recommendations on key EU policy dossiers. ETSC looks forward to see leadership from the side of Mr. Rimantas Sinkevicius, Minister of Transport and Communications, and the Lithuanian Government in improving road safety in Lithuania and in the EU. Lithuania achieved the EU target of reducing by 50% the number of road deaths between 2001 and 2010. ETSC has recognised Lithuania’s progress and accompanying efforts with a PIN Award in 2011. However, the risk of dying on the roads is high in Lithuania and the number of people killed per million inhabitants is the highest in the EU 28. It is fundamental to keep road safety high on the political agenda and to make sure that Lithuania continues its progress toward achieving the 2020 road safety objective of halving road deaths.
