7. Further Overview  Basics of CARE  History of CARE Council Decision 93/704/EC Phases of implementation  Working with CARE Data collection, Reports  Useful links  Conclusions

8. Basics of CARE  Member states establish statistics on road accidents resulting in death or injuries in their territories - no damage only accidents

9. Basics of CARE  high level of disaggregation - detailed data on individual accident as collected by Member states

10. Basics of CARE  Maximum flexibility, potential and new possibilities for analysing the information in the system  „Homogenisation“ of Member states datas  Confidential datas blanked

55. CARE - Conclusions -CARE data base has been developed to a useful tool for EU- 15-countries -Integration in larger Road Safety Strategy context - Homogenisation still ongoing - Include new member states

56. CARE - Conclusions -Advisable: National Reporting on Road accidents should fulfill the requirements for CARE -Data Base should be used for national and local purposes

57. CARE - Conclusions - --> More attention to better Road Safety e.g. European Road Safety Charter Legislation Infrastructure Education Campaigning …..
