that the car industry is not providing this protection voluntarily and that legislation is necessary. When
will the Commission introduce comprehensive legislation based on the latest EEVC tests to ensure that new
car designs provide safer car fronts for pedestrians and cyclists?

(2001/C 81 E/188)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2239/00

by Peter Skinner (PSE) to the Commission

(5 July 2000)

Subject: EU legislative action on safer car designs for pedestrians and cyclists

Some 9 300 pedestrians and cyclists die on EU roads, the majority following impact with the fronts of cars
in urban and residential areas. It is estimated that EU legislation requiring new car designs to provide safer
car fronts could save around 2 000 lives and prevent 19 000 serious injuries every year, benefiting citizens
in every Member State and with most casualty figures reduced in Germany, Spain, Italy, France and the
UK. The UK estimates in its new road safety strategy that the measure could produce a 20 % reduction in
pedestrian deaths and serious injuries. When is the proposal envisaged in the Commission(cid:146)s road safety
communication to be expected?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2385/00

by Dieter-Lebrecht Koch (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(13 July 2000)

Subject: Council of Ministers resolution on road safety (cid:129) vehicle design for pedestrian protection

In its road safety resolution agreed on 26 June, the Transport Council urged the Commission to introduce,
as quickly as possible, legislation on safer car fronts to protect pedestrians and cyclists in crashes. Will the
Commission now come forward with this legislative proposal to require the tests, which have been devised
in the EU(cid:146)s 22 year research and development programme and used in the EU-supported European New
Car Assessment Programme, since 1996, to be used on all new designs of car?

(2001/C 81 E/190)

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2410/00

by Elspeth Attwooll (ELDR) to the Commission

(18 July 2000)

Subject: Pedestrian protection

The Commission(cid:146)s road safety communication issued in March confirmed the Commission(cid:146)s intention, as
first expressed by the previous Commission, to come forward with a legislative proposal on safer car
fronts.

In view of the large scope for preventing deaths and serious injuries to pedestrians and cyclists through the
introduction of this measure (2 000 deaths and 19 000 serious injuries annually across the EU (cid:129) higher
than for any other legislative measure currently on the EU agenda), will the Commission confirm that it
will come forward with a legislative proposal in the very near future?
