COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 305/2013
of 26 November 2012
supplementing Directive 2010/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the harmonised provision for an interoperable EU-wide eCall
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2010/40/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 July 2010 on the framework for the deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems in the field of road transport and for interfaces with other modes of transport (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
After consulting the European Data Protection Supervisor,
Whereas:
(1) |
Directive 2010/40/EU requires the Commission to adopt delegated acts as regards specifications necessary to ensure the compatibility, interoperability and continuity for the deployment and operational use of intelligent transport systems (ITS). |
(2) |
According to Article 3(d) of Directive 2010/40/EU, the harmonised provision for an interoperable EU-wide eCall service shall constitute a priority action. The Commission should, therefore, adopt the necessary specifications in this field. |
(3) |
Article 26 of Directive 2002/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on universal service and users’ rights relating to electronic communications networks and services (Universal Service Directive) (2) requires that calls to the single European emergency call number 112 are answered appropriately and handled in a manner that is best suited to the national organisation of emergency systems, including the emergency call response centres (public safety answering points). |
(4) |
The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions ‘eCall: Time for deployment’ (3), envisages new regulatory measures to speed up the deployment of an in-vehicle emergency call service in the Union. One of the proposed measures is to make the necessary upgrading of the public safety answering point (PSAP) infrastructure required for proper receipt and handling of eCalls mandatory. |
(5) |
Commission Recommendation 2011/750/EU (4) on support for an EU-wide eCall service in electronic communication networks for the transmission of in-vehicle emergency calls based on 112 (‘eCalls’) advises Member States to indicate the eCall PSAP to route eCalls and to ensure that mobile network operators handle eCalls properly. |
(6) |
It is expected that, by reducing the response time of the emergency services, the interoperable EU-wide eCall will reduce the number of fatalities in the Union as well as the severity of injuries caused by road accidents. |
(7) |
The interoperable EU-wide eCall is also expected to bring savings to society by improving incident management and by reducing road congestion and secondary accidents. |
(8) |
The processing of personal data in the context of the handling of eCalls by the PSAPs, the emergency services and service partners is performed in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (5) and Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2002 concerning the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (Directive on privacy and electronic communications) (6). Member States shall ensure that this compliance is demonstrated, with national data protection authorities, either during a priori control... |
