On April 3-4, at the invitation of the Małopolska Road Safety Council, over 40 road traffic safety experts from all over Europe, members of ETSC went to Krakow.
ETSC and a coalition of prominent European organisations, icluding FEVR, has written to Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, urging her to reject the mutual recognition of US vehicle safety and environmental standards in any upcoming trade negotiations with the United States.
Ten prominent European organisations in vehicle safety, consumer protection, and road safety have raised significant concerns about potential risks to vehicle safety standards in Europe. The warning, published in today’s Financial Times, comes as the EU and US negotiate future trade relations, prioritising a deal on the car sector.
Today, on February 22, we mark the European Day for Victims of Crime, a reminder of the importance of fair treatment, support, and protection for all those who have suffered the consequences of criminal acts, including road traffic victims.
