State of Road Safety in the Countries of European Community
The report is based on the analysis of the materials of the High-level experts' Report for European policy of traffic safety as well as the materials of the Interparty Parliamentary commission for research of the problem of traffic accidents in Greece. The analysis was made with regard for the established by the Commission the main indices (criteria) of the state of road safety: number of deaths per 1 mln population, number of deaths per 1 mln vehicles, distribution of fatal victims by categories (groups) , severity of the injuries, place of road traffic accident. It is shown that insufficient road safety is a great threat to the public health and in order to decrease this threat the effective measures are to be taken urgently. Commission suggests to set as an object the 20-30% decrease of the number of fatal and severely injured victims in the countries of European Community till 2000.
