Ninth eSafety Observer Regional Meeting in Bucharest, Romania

The main road safety players from Bulgaria and Romania gathered on 19 June in Bucharest to discuss actions regarding how intelligent car safety systems (eSafety systems) can help reduce the number of fatalities and injuries on Europe’s roads.

The meeting was organised by the eSafety Support project and co-sponsored by ITS Romania, represented by its president, Mr Mihai Lanciu. The purpose of this meeting was to inform the key eSafety stakeholders in these two countries about the eSafety initiative and its latest developments as well as provide them with networking opportunities with regional stakeholders. The meeting was also meant to be a platform for the participants to report on the latest developments in their country in road safety thanks to ICT.

In the first session, the European Commission – represented by Mr Francisco Ferreira from DG for the Information Society and the Media- and eSafety Support experts provided an overview of the eSafety initiative and eSafety Priorities. Right after, the eSafety Observers reported on the status of eSafety in Bulgaria and Romania.
