April 29, 2006

T&E's submission to the European Commission Public Consultation on the Cars21 High Level Group Final Report.

T&E welcomes the opportunity to comment to the final report of the CARS21 High Level Group.

In the framework of this consultation, T&E also participates in a response from the VOICE network for the protection of vulnerable road uses. This specific response should be seen as complementary to the submission of the VOICE network.

This contribution starts with an assessment of the role of the High Level Group, then assesses the content of the report from an environmental policy point of view and with a recommendation for future consultations.
