Eighth eSafety Observer Regional Meeting in Belgium


Key road safety players from Belgium and Luxembourg met today, 23 May at ITS Belgium’s premises. Representatives of the European Commission and eSafety Support experts discussed the current road safety situation, the progress of the eSafety initiative in the two Member States and future actions to be taken to fulfill the eSafety initiative’s objectives.
 
Organised by the eSafety Support project with the support of ITS Belgium, the Regional Observers meeting aimed at informing eSafety players in the two Benelux countries of the latest achievements and current priorities of the eSafety initiative at European level. Furthermore, an assessment of possibilities for future cooperation and exchange of good practice between the two partners featured prominently on the agenda.

 

The audience consisted of more than 25 participants representing a wide variety of sectors, including public authorities, research institutes, insurance companies, technology and service providers, and driving schools. Mr George Simon, an engineer from Ponts et Chaussées Luxembourg, described his rather small country’s involvement in EU projects, and defined a number of good practice examples as well as areas for improvement. Mr Peter Van de Perre, from ITS Belgium, gave a thorough synopsis of Belgium’s positioning towards eSafety and highlighted the country’s participation in NextGenITS project as of May 2008.
