EuroSafe’s European Child Safety Alliance organised a hearing on Child Safety on the 09 November 2005 in Brussels. It was chaired by the Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Philip Whitehead, (PES - UK and chair of the Committee on Internal Market and Consumers).
The aims of the event were to set up recommendations for four technological changes that are required to reduce the high percentage of child deaths in Europe: front car design, safer cigarette manufacturing, child-resistance lighters, and control of second-hand child products.
The presentations are available on Child Safety Europe website, as well as the two press releases highlighting the main outcomes.
