European 116 numbers
23.4.2014
Question for written answer E-005274-14
to the Commission
Rule 117
Emer Costello (S&D)
How is the Commission responding to paragraph 27 of Parliament’s resolution of 24 October 2013 on the implementation report on the regulatory framework for electronic communications[1], which welcomed the Commission’s work on the practical implementation of the 116 numbers, especially the missing child hotline (116000), and called for better promotion of these numbers by the Commission?
In particular, what is the role of DG SANCO in the promotion of these numbers, particularly the 116123 emotional support helpline? How is the 116 initiative aligned with wider Commission objectives, in particular the strategic priorities of DG SANCO?
