Elvik&Asmussen 2000 estimate that full compliance to speed limits would reduce fatalities by 40% in Sweden; According to Nilsson (2001) Japanese & Danish statistics indicate that fatality risk is decreased by 75-80% - in Europe the proportion of fatalities for not wearing seatbelt is 15-60%.

Fatalities where drivers are under the influence of alcohol range usually between 5-20% of fatalities; here the risk reduction would be more than 90%.

In addition if people followed the give way regulations, signals, always maintain such a speed that the vehicle can be stopped in the area currently seen, etc. the effect would surely be more than 90%. and we will already achieve the Commission's target of halving road deaths.

Even though there is room for further improvement in passive safety (e.g. seat belt reminders, day time running lights, elimination of dead angles, conspicuity of heavy goods vehicles, better pedestrian protection), the future lies in the improvement of active safety thanks to the wide implementation of electronic devices (“smart cars”).

A. whereas, from a procedural point of view:
- existují k postupu zvolenému Komisí a Radou stejné odůvodněné výhrady jako ty, které vznesl Parlament ve věci PNR/USA (C-317/04), i když jednání s kanadskými orgány představují v podstatě přijatelnou rovnováhu mezi požadavky týkajícími se svobody a bezpečnostními požadavky ve třetí zemi;
- the approach adopted by the Commission and Council gives rise to the same reservations as those expressed by Parliament in the PNR/USA case (Case C-317/04), despite the fact that, from a substantive point of view, the negotiations with the Canadian authorities strike an acceptable balance between the need for freedom and the need for security in a third country,
- by mezinárodní dohoda měla obsahovat všechny základní prvky, které právně zavazují smluvní strany, a že v tomto specifickém případě by dohoda měla obsahovat jak záruky, které jsou požadovány v rozhodnutí Komise, jež „se snaží o dosažení rovnováhy“, tak odpovídající závazky ze strany kanadských orgánů;
- an international agreement should contain all the essential elements binding the contracting parties and whereas, in this specific case, both the guarantees required by the Commission 'adequacy finding' decision and the corresponding commitments by the Canadian authorities should have formed part of the agreement itself,
- již Evropský parlament před Soudním dvorem Evropských společenství ve věci C-317/04 právně napadl stejný „třístupňový“ postup v obdobném případě, protože tento postup není transparentní a neodpovídá zásadě právního státu a postupu, kterým Parlament dává souhlas s mezinárodními dohodami.
- the European Parliament has already challenged before the Court of Justice of the European Communities in Case C‑317/04 the same 'three tiers' procedure in a similar case because the procedure is not transparent and is not in conformity with the rule of law and the procedure by which Parliament gives its assent to international agreements.
Do doby, než bude vynesen rozsudek Soudního dvora, by bylo vhodnější, aby Komise předložila svůj návrh a aby Rada jednala v souladu s postupy, které se běžně používají při sjednávání mezinárodní dohody, která má být podepsána Společenstvím;
