4. pants

Process

4.1 European Co-ordination

The Parties signing this MoU will interact through a European

Co-ordination Platform to co­ordinate their activities by

bringing together all relevant stakeholders. Provided sufficient

funds can be made available, the co-ordination platform will

include studies on the economics underlying the introduction and

the drafting of a road map at European level.

The European Commission is the appropriate body to determine

the platform to be used for this European Co-ordination.

Currently the Driving Group on eCall within the eSafety Forum is

the appropriate platform, but the co-ordination may take another

form in subsequent years to support implementers and monitor

progress of implementation across Europe. However, such

co­ordination should continue to be under the auspices of the

eSafety Forum.

4.2 Status of the Memorandum of

Understanding

This MoU summarises the current intentions of the different

Parties signing this MoU. It will form the basis for action by

each of the Parties according to their respective roles. However,

nothing in this MoU legally obliges any Party to any other Party.

Also, this MoU does not affect the rights (including intellectual

property rights) of any Party to material or services supplied by

them as part of the in-vehicle eCall chain. This MoU recognises

that all Parties carry their own risks and costs in providing,

carrying and handling the in-vehicle eCall initiative.

4.3 Review of this MoU

For this MoU to provide an effective framework for

co-operation active participation of all sectors concerned is

required. Progress on implementation and business planning by all

Parties concerned will be reviewed when appropriate. However,

first review should take place not later than after 12 months

following the signature of the MoU. When appropriate the Parties,

will consider the need for improvements in their co-operation and

make and introduce suitable proposals for modification or

termination to this MoU.
