EU sets new target of halving the number of people seriously injured on our roads

On 8 June 2017, the Council of the European Union set a target of halving the number of serious injuries on roads in the EU by 2030 from the 2020 baseline, using a recently agreed common definition. These conclusions on road safety endorse the Valletta declaration on improving road safety adopted at an informal ministerial meeting organised by the presidency on 29 March 2017.
