SOUNDBITE (English), Olga SEHNALOV&#193; (S&amp;D, CZ), rapporteur, We would like to see since October 2015 that all new models of cars are equipped with device that would allow in fact, in case of a car accident, to call emergency service by 112 number.

SOUNDBITE (English), Olga SEHNALOV&#193; (S&amp;D, CZ), rapporteur, I am very satisfied with the result in fact because it was adopted by large majority, so that means that the EP is still clear what it wants.

SOUNDBITE (English), Olga SEHNALOV&#193; (S&amp;D, CZ), rappoteur, We were in our report keen to consult the data protection supervisor, we were keen to consult the LIBE Committee, so for that sense we are strengthening the legislative requirements let's say for the system as such, but we should have in mind that this is a road safety issue which is based on a system that is being triggered only when an accident happens. There is no constant tracking.
