4. Recognises that ERTMS has been developed with the aid of the previous research framework programmes, and at present exists in a consolidated prototype form that can thus be deployed widely as of now; also notes that the deployment of GSM-R is proceeding apace and good progress is being made as regards ETCS; stresses, however, that this has not yet sufficed to create an automatic cause and effect relationship whereby, irrespective of the financial and safety aspects and the matter of boosting capacity, ERTMS will be established on the entire trans-European rail network without further intervention and the 20 different train protection and signalling systems still exi ...[+++]sting today will in a few years" time be a thing of the past and will have been superseded by a single system – ERTMS – in all the EU Member States;

1. Recognises that, as a train protection and signalling system, ERTMS is superior to the national systems to the extent that it should be cheaper as far as new acquisitions and maintenance are concerned – for instance because signal posts will no longer be necessary – safer at all speeds and under all circumstances in terms of troubleshooting and monitoring, and very often will enable line capacity to be increased substantially;

28. Notes the findings of the EuroTest 2005 road signs survey, which revealed that 91% of motorists want better harmonisation of road signs across Europe in order to improve road safety; calls on the Commission to respond by taking effective measures to improve traffic signing systems and driver behaviour and the provision of information to drivers in this respect; calls on the Commission to launch an initiative to bring about uniform interpretation of the UN Vienna Conv ...[+++]ention of 1968 on traffic signing systems within the European Union; urges the Commission to investigate identified problems such as the over-abundance of road signs and the deficient understanding of signs; favours the provision of user-friendly and up-to-date information about the traffic signing systems used in the Member States, thus facilitating cross-border traffic; maintains that such information should be made easily accessible via an EU internet website available in all official EU languages;

31. Notes the findings of the EuroTest 2005 road signs survey, which revealed that 91% of motorists want greater harmonisation of road signs across Europe in order to improve road safety; calls on the Commission to respond by taking effective measures to improve traffic signing systems and driver behaviour and the provision of information to drivers in this respect; calls on the Commission to launch an initiative to ensure that the UN Convention of 8 November 1968 on Roa ...[+++]d Signs and Signals is interpreted in the same way throughout the EU; urges the Commission to investigate identified problems such as the over-abundance of road signs and the deficient understanding of signs; favours the provision of user-friendly and up-to-date information about the traffic signing systems used in the Member States, thus facilitating cross-border traffic; maintains that such information should be made easily accessible via an EU internet website available in all official EU languages;

Several fatal accidents, including those in Bologna in 2005, Albacete in 2003 and London in 1999, show that a more effective signalling system with automatic train speed control could improve the safety of the railways.

With ETCS it will be possible to provide secondary lines with a signalling system offering a standard of safety at least equivalent to that of the systems currently used on high-speed lines.
