Has Commissioner Neelie Kroes fulfilled her obligations to save the lives of our citizens? 112 is the number everyone in the European Union can dial to reach the emergency services, but Neelie Kroes could have done much better to serve citizens... Instead she decided to please the car and mobile phone companies... This is a message for the new Commissioner from 96% of EU citizens who want a pan-EU emergency number (2011 eurobarometer): it's time for a change! 2007 112 In 2007, 112 was supported by Neelie Kroes could have improved this immediately by forcing telecom operators to give accurate caller location info... 530 MEPS estimated 320 million the record number of EP signatures ever! emergency calls made each year in the EU but she did not! Not being able to precisely locate citizens calling emergency services costs €4.000.000.000 every year !!
