Sparks Project

Testimonials

Eurosparks’ emphasis on economic relevance and legal aspects has captured the attention of administrative personnel, municipal police, local politicians and the media.

It has shown there are possible technical solutions for a well-known problem and generated hope among municipalities that they can influence future EU directives.

Participation has also given us more chances to influence national politicians and Italian civil servants.
Alessandro Drago, Lazio Region

Through Eurosparks we asked members of local government to bring forward their ideas and proposals for improving traffic laws against foreign vehicles, and for the first time they gave this topic serious consideration.

SPARKS has also given us an opportunity to travel, meet international colleagues and join a study that is being presented to the EU, with all the influence that an international partnership can bring.
