With Europeans as likely to spend a vacation in Paris or Budapest as at the seaside in their own country, they need a single emergency number: one that is easily remembered and will quickly put them in touch with the emergency services they need. This single European emergency number is 112. Wherever your travels in the European Union bring you, 112 can be dialed free of charge, from fixed and mobile phones, or from a phone box. 112 is available in all Member States except Bulgaria.
The film explains more about how 112 works, why it is important for EU citizens and what the EU is doing to make it work even better

Imagine you're in a foreign country and you're involved in or witness an accident. 00:00:00
Would you be able to call the emergency services? 00:00:07
Would you know what number to call in another country? 00:00:11
In the European Union, emergency numbers differ from one country to the next. 00:00:17
Yet more and more Europeans are traveling in the European Union. 00:00:23
So potentially, millions of people could be faced with this problem. 00:00:28
This is why the European Emergency Number 112 was created by the European Union to be used across Europe. 00:00:35
So having a single number all over the European Union is a huge advantage. 00:00:57
How does the 112 emergency number work? 00:01:27
We headed to Utrecht in the center of the Netherlands to find out. 00:01:30
Here in the outskirts of Utrecht is one of the main call centers and coordination hubs for the police, ambulance and fire department service of the country. 00:01:36
In most of the 112 emergency centers, calls will be answered in several European Union languages. 00:01:57
But remember that 112, like national emergency numbers, must only be used for real emergencies. 00:02:12
You can think of fires, but also accidents with serious injuries. 00:02:27
Discomfort of people, where the immediate arrival of an ambulance is desirable. 00:02:33
Today, most citizens know what emergency number to dial in their own country. 00:02:44
But only one out of five know that they can use 112 everywhere in the EU. 00:02:48
More should be done to inform people. 00:02:54
An effective 112 must pass through the implementation of quality criteria on the entire 112 call chain 00:02:58
with an absolute priority on the education of the population in relation to the knowledge and proper use of the number 112. 00:03:05
The 112 emergency number covers the entire European Union. 00:03:16
So next time you're traveling, keep 112 in mind. It could save your life. 00:03:19
