DG eCall Meeting on 7 July 2005, at ERTICO

The eCall Driving Group held its latest meeting on 7 July 2005 in Brussels. A feedback was given about April’s eCall expert meeting in Helsinki, the eSafety Forum meeting in Hannover and the various sector meetings that have taken place since the last DG eCall meeting on 14 April. 

The meetings with the insurance and telecom operators sectors should be seen as a real step forward for eCall deployment. By expressly targeting the individual sectors, the particular issues related to eCall for those specific sectors can be effectively addressed.

During the meeting, Michael Nielsen, ERTICO's Director of Development and co-Chair of the DG eCall, stressed that now is the time to really move forward. According to the agreed action plan, all stakeholders should have signed the eCall Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by June 2005. By the end of this year, the business model, ETSI standard and a rollout plan should also be defined.

To meet these deadlines, various working groups were established with clear objectives and targets. Different members of the DG eCall agreed to lead the different working groups, as all participants recognised the importance of moving forward.
