Reports, countermeasures and dissemination of data

• Reports should be based on the analysis of the European road accident database. They should also include recommendations designed to prevent reoccurrence and document the evidence upon which these recommendations are based (for example, the number of accidents and type of statistical analysis). Accident reports and statistical data should be made publicly available at both national and community level.
• An annual report concerning the investigation activities over the elapsed year should be published. These reports should include summary results of investigations conducted in Member States and information on recommendations developed at EU level.
• Recommendations for countermeasures, developed from aggregate accident data, should be addressed to the European Commission, who shall take the necessary measures to ensure that these recommendations are duly taken into consideration, and, where appropriate, acted upon.
• The aggregate and annual reports should be made publicly available within an appropriate time scale at both National and European level.
