Creation date: 27 April 2007

The 2nd PSAP Expert Group on eCall took place 26 April in Brussels. It gathered participants from nine Member States and Norway, plus the European Commission, Art.29 WP, ACEA and the eCall Driving Group, with the main objective of discussing the content of the Minimum Set of Data (MSD) of an eCall.

Other discussion items included the eCall impact on the PSAPs (Public Safety Answering Points workload and the Member State situations regarding eCall and E112 implementation.

Conclusions
As outcomes of the meeting, the Group was in agreement on the need for a common VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) structure and development of a VIN decoder. It also reached consensus on the MSD data.

It also considers Field Operational Tests as an important tool to reach more conclusions about the appropriate design of the eCall service. Finally, the Group took note that the eCall Service Providers Group is working on a proposal for high-level requirements for a common interface in Europe between PSAPs and Service Providers.
