Amendment 34 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 2 a (new)
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 2 a (new)
(2a) 'third party service eCall system (TPS-eCall)' or 'private eCall' is an emergency call system according to standard EN 16102: 2011 based on a contract between the car owner and the service provider which includes the transmission of data to a third party service provider (TPSP), and the establishment of a voice call with this TPSP via mobile wireless communication networks. In the event of a severe accident, the TPSP establishes a voice connection with the most appropriate public safety answering point (PSAP) and forwards all relevant information concerning the event, including the information specified by EN 15722 (Intelligent transport systems - eSafety -'eCall' minimum set of data) to this most appropriate PSAP.

Article 5 – paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. For vehicles equipped with an additional TPS-eCall system, the requirements of the previous paragraph are deemed to be met if (a) in the event of a severe accident an eCall to a TPS eCall number is triggered automatically, and (b) it is ensured that the 112 eCall is triggered automatically in case the TPS eCall does not work for any reason, and the car owner has the choice between the 112 eCall number or the TPS eCall number as the preferred system to be used in case of a severe accident.

(5) The Union eCall system is expected to reduce the number of fatalities in the Union as well as the severity of injuries caused by road accidents. The mandatory introduction of the eCall system and the mandatory upgrade of telecommunications operators for conveying eCalls and PSAPs for receiving eCalls would make the service available to all citizens and thus contribute to reduce human suffering and healthcare and other costs.
