Vice-President Jacques barrot,
european Commission
i very much welcome the eurotaP audit Report and
the support of aDaC and its partner automobile
clubs in helping to accelerate the widespread
implementation of the european Directive on Safety
in tunnels. across europe, well ahead of schedule,
Member States are putting in place national plans
backed by signifi cant investment to refurbish and
raise the quality and safety of their road tunnel
infrastructure. the report shows that overall the
situation is very much improved, but of course there
is always room for improvement.
eurotaP’s collaboration with tunnel operators,
authorities, experts and users has underlined the
importance of good management and brought
forward welcome new research and debate in the
area of tunnel safety.
i am very pleased with this important work and with
eurotaP’s contribution to road safety.
