l Road safety
. Road safety has become a social challenge throughout Europe as well as worldwide.
Target
Fatalities
The objective of the European Union is to halve the number of fatalities on European roads by 2010.
Road fatalities per year in the EU since 2001:

...and it would have to be done anyway!(revenues from excise duties will decline with new energy sources)
Why internalisation is important?

l .Take into account all externalities and provide fairer comparison with other sectors.Give incentives to ‘right’ behaviour .Sort out complex arbitrages .Promote the ‘right’ technologies.Provide signals for investments.Collect resources for better transport
