Proposal for a 
REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL 
concerning type-approval requirements for the deployment of the eCall in-vehicle 
system and amending Directive 2007/46/EC 
(Text with EEA relevance) 
 EN 2   EN EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM  
1. CONTEXT  OF THE  PROPOSAL 
The purpose of this proposal is to introduce in  the EC motor vehicle type-approval system a 
requirement for fitting an eCall in-vehicle system. This forms part of a set of EU legal acts for 
ensuring the deployment of the 112-based eCa ll service by 1 October 2015. The other main 
legislative acts linked to this eCall initiative are: 
• Commission Recommendation 2011/750/EU of 8 September 2011 on support for an 
EU-wide eCall service in electronic comm unication networks for the transmission of 
in-vehicle emergency ca lls based on 112 (‘eCalls’)1 
• Commission Delegated Re gulation (EU) No 305/2013 of 26.11.2012 supplementing 
Directive 2010/40/EU of the European Parlia ment and of the Counc il with regards to 
the harmonised provision for an interoperable EU-wide eCall2 
• Proposal for Decision (EU) No…/.. of xx.xx.20xx of the European Parliament and of 
the Council on the deployment of the interoperable EU-wide eCall3 
These different texts are complementary and to gether will allow for th e 112 eCall service to 
be fully operational by 1 October 2015. 
2. RESULTS  OF CONSULTATIONS  WITH  THE  INTERESTED  PARTIES  AND  
IMPACT  ASSESSMENTS 
2.1. Consultations with the interested parties 
This proposal is the result of extensive consultations with major stakeholders: 
The stakeholders, and notably the CARS21 High Level Group, were consulted during the 
process that led to the adoption of the “C ARS 2020: action plan fo r a competitive and 
sustainable European car industry” . More precisely, this proposal constitutes a delivery of the 
action: “further promote the deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), including 
cooperative systems, in particul ar the EU-wide in-vehicle emergency call system eCall".  
This proposal also takes into consideration a ll the consultations made in the eCall Impact 
Assessment. These consultations  include, in particular, ex tensive contributions from 
stakeholders involved in several fora such as the European eCall Implementation Platform (EeIP), the eCall Public Service Answering Points (“PSAPs”) expert Group and the eCall 
Driving Group within the eSaf ety/i-Mobility Forum, and a public consultation on the 
implementation of eCall that was ope n from 19 July to 19 September 2010. 
Finally, this proposal takes into  consideration the opinion of  the European ITS Advisory 
Group, composed of 25 high level representatives from ITS service provide rs, associations of 
users, transport and facilities  operators, manufacturing industr y, social partners, professional 
associations, local authorities  and other relevant fora.  
2.2. Impact assessment and cost-benefit analysis 
An extensive cost-benefit analys is was conducted as part of th e eCall Impact Assessment for 
the three proposed options, including the preferred opti on on regulatory measures.

2 OJ L91, 3.4.2013,p.1 
3 OJ L[…],[…], p. […]. EN 3   EN As far as the cost-benefit analysis of the chosen  option (option 3) is co ncerned, each of the 
three planned eCall regulatory measures (in-ve hicle, telecommunication, PSAP) is inseparable 
from the other two. 
2.2.1. Analysis of main benefits 
The benefits identified through the impact assessment and severa l studies, including national 
ones, include: 
– Reduction of fatalities (with all vehicl es eCall-equipped, between 1% and 10% 
depending on country population density , road and emergency response 
infrastructure);  
– Reduction of seriousness of the in juries (between 2% and 15%);  
– Reduction of congestion costs caused by tr affic accidents. This is due to the 
improvement of accident management, as the accident is immediately notified to the 
PSAPs and can therefore be transferred to the appropriate Traffic Management Control, which can immediately inform othe r road users, and help reduce secondary 
accidents; 
– Facilitation of rescue services and incr eased security of rescue team (e.g. fire-
fighters) when extracting trapped occupant s, as the Minimum Set of Data (“MSD”) 
in the eCall message will, among others, provide information on the fuel type; 
– Reduced SOS roadside infrastructure, as each  road user would be able to trigger an 
emergency call from their vehicle. 
2.2.2. Cost–benefit ratio 
Benefits have also been quantified in monetary  values and a cost-benefit analysis drawn for 
the different options as well for types of affected  categories. The estimations are calculated up 
to year 2033 as this is the exp ected year of full penetration of the eCall service in case of the 
preferred policy option.

3. LEGAL  ELEMENTS  OF THE  PROPOSAL 
3.1. Legal basis 
The legal basis is article 114 of the Treat y on the Functioning of the European Union. 
3.2. Subsidiarity and proportionality 
According to the principle of subsidiarity (A rticle 5.3 Treaty on the European Union), action 
at Union level should be taken only when the aims envisaged cannot be achieved sufficiently 
by Member States alone and can therefore, by re ason of the scale or effects of the proposed 
action, be better achieved by the Union. 
Road safety is an issue of major concern acro ss the entire European Union and for all of its 
citizens. The purpose of the interoperable EU-w ide eCall initiative is ultimately to introduce 
in all vehicles in the EU the minimum functiona lities needed to ensure adequate handling of EN 4   EN the emergency calls by the emergency response services. Currently, road journeys exceed 100 
million annually across the various Member Stat es and they are increasing due to further 
consolidation of the European  Union (through the free m ovement of goods, persons and 
services). Action is needed at EU level in orde r to guarantee interoperabi lity and continuity of 
the service throughout Europe, which cannot be satisfactorily achieved by individual Member 
States alone. Moreover, taking  action at EU level using co mmon European eCall standards 
approved by the European Standardisation Or ganisations (CEN and ETSI) will ensure the 
efficient provision of the emergency response se rvice across Europe, for example in the case 
of vehicles travelling abro ad, and also help to avoid market fragmentation. 
The EU-wide eCall has been designed in such a way as to minimise the impact on all the 
stakeholders in the value chain (automotiv e industry, mobile network operators, Member 
States - PSAPs), and to dist ribute this impact fairly. 
3.3. Detailed explanation of the proposal 
Articles 2, 4 and 5 : 
The proposal requires new type s of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles to be 
constructed as to ensure that in the event of a severe accident an emergency call (eCall) to the 
112 is triggered automatically. It must also be  possible to trigger manually emergency calls 
(eCalls) to the 112. 
Article 6 : 
Due to the nature of the information being provi ded by this service, rules for privacy and data 
protection are provided. 
Articles 5, 6 and 8 : 
The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts relating to: 
• Detailed technical requirements and tests for the type-approval of the eCall in-
vehicle systems, which will be based on the standards referred to in Article 5;  
• privacy and data protection; 
• exemptions for special purpose vehicles a nd for other justified cases. The exemptions 
will be limited in number. 
Article 12 : 
The Regulation will apply from 1 October 2015. 
4. BUDGETARY  IMPLICATION   
There are no budgetary impli cations for the EU budget. 
5. OPTIONAL  ELEMENTS   
The proposed act concerns an EEA matter and should therefore extend to the European 
Economic area. EN 5   EN 2013/0165 (COD) 
Proposal for a 
REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL 
concerning type-approval requirements for the deployment of the eCall in-vehicle 
system and amending Directive 2007/46/EC 
(Text with EEA relevance) 
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE CO UNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular 
Article 114 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal  of the European Commission, 
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national Parliaments, Having regard to the opinion of the Eu ropean Economic and Social Committee
4,  
Having regard to the opinion of the Eu ropean Data Protection Supervisor, 
Acting in accordance with the or dinary legislative procedure, 
Whereas: (1) A comprehensive Union type-approval system  for motor vehicles has been established 
by Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 
September 2007 on establishing a framework fo r the approval of motor vehicles and 
their trailers, and of system s, components and separate technical units intended for 
such vehicles (Framework Directive)
5. 
(2) The technical requirements for the type-appr oval of motor vehicl es with regard to 
numerous safety and environmental elements have been harmonised at Union level in order to ensure a high level of ro ad safety throughout the Union.  
(3) In order to further improve road safety, the Communication "eCall: Time for 
Deployment"
6 proposes new measures to accelerat e the deployment of an in-vehicle 
emergency call service in the Union. One of the suggested measures is to make 
mandatory the fitting of eCall in-vehicle syst ems in all new vehicles starting with M1 
and N1 vehicle categories as define d in Annex II to Directive 2007/46/EC. 
(4) On 3 July 2012, the European Parliament  approved the Report on eCall: a new 112 
service for citizens7 urging the Commission to submit a proposal within the framework 
of Directive 2007/46/EC in order to ensu re the mandatory deployment of a public, 
112-based eCall system by 2015.  
(5) The Union eCall system is expected to redu ce the number of fatali ties in the Union as 
well as the severity of injuries caused by road accidents. The mandatory introduction

7 2012/2056(INI). EN 6   EN of the eCall system would make  the service available to al l citizens and thus contribute 
to reduce human suffering and healthcare and other costs. 
(6) The provision of accurate and reliable positi oning information is an essential element 
of the effective operation of the eCall in-vehic le system. Therefore, it is appropriate to 
require its compatibility with the services provided by satellite navigation programmes, including the systems es tablished under the Galileo and EGNOS 
programmes set out in Regulation (EC) No 683/2008 of the European Parliament and 
of the Council of 9 July 2008 on the further implementation of the European satellite 
navigation programmes (EGNOS and Galileo)
8. 
(7) The mandatory equipping of vehicles with the eCall in-vehicle sy stem should initially 
apply only to new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles (categories M1 and 
N1) for which an appropriate triggering mechanism already exists.  
(8) The mandatory equipping of vehicles with  the eCall in-vehicle system should be 
without prejudice to the right  of all stakeholders such  as car manufacturers and 
independent operators to offer additional em ergency and/or added value services, in 
parallel with or building on the 112-based eCall in-vehicle syst em. However, these 
additional services should be designed not to increase driver distraction. 
(9) In order to ensure open choice for customers and fair competition, as well as 
encourage innovation and boost the competitiveness of the Union’s information technology industry on the global market, th e eCall in-vehicle system should be 
accessible free of charge and without discri mination to all independent operators and 
based on an interoperable and open-access pl atform for possible future in-vehicle 
applications or services. 
(10) In order to maintain the integrity of  the type-approval system, only those eCall in-
vehicle systems which can be fully tested s hould be accepted for the purposes of this 
Regulation.  
(11) Small series vehicles are excluded unde r Directive 2007/46/EC from the requirements 
on the protection of occupants in the case of frontal impact and side impact. Therefore, 
those small series vehicles should be excluded from the obligation to comply with the eCall requirements. 
(12) Special purpose vehicles should be subject to complian ce with the eCall requirements 
set out in this Regulation, unless type-approval au thorities consider, on a case by case 
basis, that the vehicle cannot meet those requirements due to its special purpose. 
(13) According to the recommendations made  by the Article 29 Data Protection Working 
Party and contained in the 'Working doc ument on data protection and privacy 
implications in eC all initiative', adopt ed on 26 September 2006
9, any processing of 
personal data through the eCall in-vehicle system should comply with the personal 
data protection rules provided for in Direct ive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament 
and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individua ls with regard to 
the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data10 and in 
Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parl iament and of the Council of 12 July 2002 
concerning the processing of personal data  and the protection of privacy in the 
electronic communications sector (Dir ective on privacy and electronic

vehicle systems, in their normal operati onal status related to 112 eCall, are not 
traceable and are not subject to any constant  tracking and that the minimum set of data 
sent by the in-vehicle eCall system includes the minimum information required for the appropriate handling of emergency calls. 
(14) The European Standardisation Orga nisations, ETSI and CEN, have developed 
common standards for the deployment of a pa n-European eCall service, which should 
apply for the purposes of this Regulation, as  this will facilita te the technological 
evolution of the in-vehicle eCall service, en sure the interoperability and continuity of 
the service throughout the Union, and reduce the costs of implementation for the Union as a whole. 
(15) In order to ensure the application of  common technical requirements regarding the 
eCall in-vehicle system, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the 
Treaty on the Functioning of the European  Union should be delegated to the 
Commission in respect of the detailed ru les on the application of the relevant 
standards, on testing, on pe rsonal data and privacy prot ection and on exemptions for 
certain vehicles or classes of vehicles of categories M1 and N1. It is of particular 
importance that the Commission carry out  appropriate consultations during its 
preparatory work, including at expert level. The Comm ission, when preparing and 
drawing up delegated acts, should ensure  a simultaneous, timely and appropriate 
transmission of relevant documents to th e European Parliament and to the Council. 
(16) Vehicle manufacturers should be allowed sufficient time to adapt to the technical 
requirements of this Regulation.  
(17) This Regulation is a new separate Regulation in the cont ext of the EC type-approval 
procedure provided for by Directive 2007/46/EC and therefore, Annexes I, III, IV, VI, 
IX and XI to that Directive should be amended accordingly. 
(18) Since the objectives  of this Regulation, namely the ach ievement of the internal market 
through the introduction of common technical requirements for new type approved 
vehicles equipped with the eCall in vehicl e system, cannot be sufficiently achieved by 
the Member States and can, therefore, by reason  of its scale, be better achieved at the 
level of the Union, the Union may adopt meas ures in accordance with the principle of 
subsidiarity set out in Article 5 of the Tr eaty on the European Union. In accordance 
with the principle of proportiona lity, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not 
go beyond what is necessary in orde r to achieve th at objective,
