All passenger transport operators must promote EU 112 number
EU - Mathieu Grosch MEP, EPP Group Coordinator in the Transport and Tourism Committee of the European Parliament, has called for all passenger carrier companies to actively promote the European emergency number 112. British Airways, Easyjet and other transport companies recently teamed up in a campaign to raise awareness among passengers about the potentially life-saving 112 number.
"Each year, more than 150 million people travel all over the EU, they should all know 112! But for 5 years 3 out of 4 European citizens are still not aware that they can dial 112 all over Europe. Now it is time to go ahead; we cannot wait 5 more years to make European citizens aware of such a vital number!"

The 112 Foundation
The 112 Foundation was created to save lives by promoting the knowledge and appropriate use of the European emergency number 112. The 112 Foundation was proposed and established by EENA - the European Emergency Number Association - in cooperation with its Advisory Board. Its main objective is to offer campaign materials to all citizens and organisations willing to inform and educate on the 112.
