Question by Alyn Smith (Verts/ALE, UK) to the Commission on drink driving limit

1 October

In its Road Safety Action Plan the Commission pledges to halve the number of fatalities on European roads by 2010. Can the Commission provide details as to whether, in those EU Member States (Germany, Spain and Italy) that have reduced their drink driving limit from 80mg to 50mg as a result of the Road Safety Action Plan, this has lowered fatalities in each of these countries?
