More and more European countries are adopting legislation for the use of alcohol interlock devices in rehabilitation programmes, substituting this punishment for driving licence withdrawal. Many EU countries voluntarily introduced alcohol interlock technology for vehicles used to transport goods or passengers.

Building on the success of the October 6, 2010 seminar on the use of alcohol interlocks, the MHF and the ETSC wish to discuss and promote the role of alcohol interlocks in the new EU road safety strategy for 2011-2020. The opening reception and three-day exhibition will provide informative and interactive materials on alcohol interlocks and their use.

The event will be co-hosted by MEPs Anna Hedh.

To register, please send an email to Ilyas.Daoud@etsc.eu by March 18. If you need an EP badge, please include your full name, nationality, residency address, passport/ID number and date of birth.
