Welcome to our latest ROADPOL Newsletter

 

September 2020: an important month for ROADPOL!
For the first time we conduct our ROADPOL Safety Days... it was a challenge to plan, to organise, to prepare, to manage...
THANK YOU everybody who was involved to make it happen, and for all the contributions made and planned - I have no doubt that it will be a success!
And: we had to say good-bye to Egbert-Jan, as he retired by the end of August - it was a great experience to work with you!

Please find more information about the ROADPOL Safety Days - and of course other statements regarding the retoirement of Egbert-Jan.

Maradj életben és ments életeket! * 

 

Yours Sincerely

Heinz Albert Stumpen

ROADPOL General Secretary

 

Invitation to online press conference

Kick-off event for the ROADPOL Safety Days

 

ROADPOL invites you to an event and press conference to open the 2020 ROADPOL Safety Days.
ROADPOL is a network of European traffic police forces. Led by senior police officers, ROADPOL is primarily committed to reducing the number of deaths and serious injuries on European roads. Our members are the traffic police forces of various European countries, but we are open for countries outside Europe as well, because there should not be borders for saving lives.

Agenda:

• Statements by Mr Volker Orben, ROADPOL President and Mrs Nicole Steingaß, State Secretary of Home Affairs and Sports, Rhineland-Palatinate.

• Livestream from a roadside safety check.
• Panel discussion on road safety, featuring:
     o Matthew Baldwin, European Commission, Deputy Director-General of DG MOVE
     o Jonathon Passmore, World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe, Programme Manager - Violence and Injury Prevention
     o Ellen Townsend, European Transport Safety Council, Policy Director
     o Nora Guitet, Michelin, Corporate Public Affairs

 

When: Wed 16 Sep 2020 14:00 – 15:00 (CEST) Brussels, Belgium Time

 

 

For media queries, or to request dedicated media access to the press conference, please contact dijana.djerkovic@roadpol.eu. or register directly via

We look forward to your support in making the event successful.
