Does eCall technology already exist?
Yes, eCall technology has existed for about ten years and private emergency call services exist today. However, the penetration of such services is reduced and does not work in all Member States. That is why the the European Commission promotes a minimum public pan-European eCall service that works for all vehicles in Europe. Standards are now required for the system to be interoperable throughout the EU. European Public Safety Answering Points must receive the eCall in a standardised way, and the Minimum Set of Data must contain the same information in whatever country eCall is used.
