European Emergency Phone Number 112
A recent campaign to highlight the 112 emergency phone number has been launched by the European Commission. It’s thought that a large number of holidaymakers (74% of Europeans) aren’t aware of the 112 emergency number which can be used in the EU much like you’d use the 999 number here in the UK. Major rail, air and transport companies have joined in the cmapaign to highlight the existence of the number as a result, with some airline companies printing information on tickets.
112 can be called when you are in an EU country or at home to call the fire brigade, police or emergency services such as an ambulance. Vice President Neelie Kroes said “You can save a life by knowing and dialing 112. But 112 only helps if people know about it. So we are working with travel companies to catch attention while people are en route to their destination.” 112 can be reached via fixed and mobile phones, free of charge, everywhere in the EU plus some countries outside the EU such as Croatia, Montenegro and Turkey.
