Two eSafety Observers’ Regional Meetings organised in September 2006

Creation date: 27 September 2006

The third and fourth Regional eSafety Observers’ meetings took place on 18 September in Turin, Italy and 21 September in Athens, Greece. Key road safety players came together to review how eSafety systems can help reduce the number of fatalities and injuries on Europe’s roads.

Organised by eSafety Support, the aim of the two eSafety Observers' Regional meetings was to review how eSafety players can work together to increase awareness of the benefits of eSafety systems. The Turin event brought together participants from Austria, Italy and Germany while the Athens meeting was targeted at stakeholders in Greece and Malta.

The meetings featured presentations by European Commission and eSafety Support experts, giving an overview of the eSafety initiative and its achievements to date. The initiative, dating from 2002, is dedicated to halving the number of road deaths in Europe by 2010 through the development and deployment of eSafety systems. National road safety players also gave a series of presentations, detailing the development and deployment of eSafety in their regions.
