(5) The Union eCall system is expected to reduce the number of fatalities in the Union as well as the severity of injuries caused by road accidents. The mandatory introduction of the eCall system as well as the mandatory and coordinated infrastructure upgrade for conveying eCalls and PSAPs for receiving eCalls would make the service available to all citizens and thus contribute to reduce human suffering and healthcare and other costs.
