The European Commission's Group of experts on accidents in the transport sector has held its first plenary session on 14 July 2004. The group, which will advise the Commission on its transport safety strategy, was created in June 2003 and has 12 appointed members, out of 100 candidates from across Europe. Increasing safety was one of the main objectives in the Commission's 2001 White Paper European Transport Policy for 2010: Time to decide. 'The expertise and independence of the newly appointed members will be key to reach a higher and more uniform level of protection and of safety for all transport modes', said Loyola de Palacio, Vice-President of the European Commission, responsible for transport and energy. |
