In July 2010 the Commission adopted the Policy Orientations for Road Safety 2011-2020, which provide a governance framework and strategic objectives for action aimed at improving road safety. As part of the Policy Orientations, the Commission has established the very ambitious target of halving the number of fatalities by 2020 in relation to 2011.
