Fourth eSafety Observers Regional Meeting, Athens, Greece, 21 September 2006

The Fourth Regional eSafety Observers meeting took place on 21 September in Athens, Greece. Key road safety players came together to review how hi-tech safety systems for cars, so called eSafety systems, can help reduce the number of fatalities and injuries on Europe’s roads.
 
Organised by eSafety Support and hosted by the Greek Institute of Communication and Computer Systems, the aim of the Athens eSafety Observers Regional meeting was to review how eSafety players in Greece and Malta can work together to increase awareness of the benefits of eSafety systems such as Stability Control.
 
The meeting 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 status of eSafety development and deployment in the region.
 
High-level participants included Francisco Ferreira from the European Commission’s Directorate General for Information Society and Media, Aris Stathakis from the Greek National Committee of Road Safety and Nissim Benmayor from the Greek Ministry of Transport.
