500 people a week still dying on EU roads

Brussels - The European Commission has today published data (LINK) showing that deaths on EU roads fell by just 2% last year, following a similar decrease in 2016 and a 1% increase in 2015.

Commenting on the publication of the latest figures, Antonio Avenoso, Executive Director of the European...
