Detailed data on road accidents in Luxembourg from CARE database
Dear Mobility and Transport,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
- all documents that contain information on road accidents in Luxembourg for the years 2015-2021 (as far as possibly available), originating from but not limited to the CARE database (Community database on road accidents)
- all documents that contain the age of all victims harmed in a road accident in Luxembourg, the gender, the amount of victims, whether they were pedestrians, cyclists or drivers (or others), where exactly the accident happened (such as GPS coordinates or at the very least street names), the severity of injuries and whether or not victims have died
Yours faithfully,
Francesca PHAM

Dear Ms Pham,
Please find attached a reply to your request for access to documents with reference GESTDEM 2021/7114.
Kind regards,
Dear Mobility and Transport,
Please pass this on to the person who reviews confirmatory applications.
I am filing the following confirmatory application with regards to my access to documents request 'Detailed data on road accidents in Luxembourg from CARE database'.
The EU Commission, as well as STATEC, only publish punctual, aggregated and summarised information about road accidents. Even data sets that are available as spreadsheets or other machine readable formats only contain aggregated information - it is never granular to the level of individual accidents.
My request was specifically intended for non-aggregated, detailed data (as the title of the request states, barring any personal data of course), such as, for example, detailed GPS locations of where *individual* accidents have happened. In fact I have already asked STATEC if they could provide me with such information, and their answer has been that this was not possible.
Without access to such raw, granular information on the level of individual accidents, such as data contained in documents that contain raw data from the CARE database, I cannot regard my request as having been properly processed.
A full history of my request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.asktheeu.org/en/request/deta...
Thank you very much for your answer. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Francesca Pham

Dear Mrs Francesca Pham,
Thank you for your e-mail from 9 December 2021 concerning your request for
access to documents, registered under the reference GESTDEM 2021/7114.
In particular, your request from 8 November 2021 concerned:
- all documents that contain information on road accidents in
Luxembourg for the years 2015-2021 (as far as possibly available),
originating from but not limited to the CARE database (Community database
on road accidents)
- all documents that contain the age of all victims harmed in a
road accident in Luxembourg, the gender, the amount of victims, whether
they were pedestrians, cyclists or drivers (or others), where exactly the
accident happened (such as GPS coordinates or at the very least street
names), the severity of injuries and whether or not victims have died
On 8 December 2021 we have provided you with a positive answer including a
link to the EU road safety country profile for Luxembourg and to the
Luxembourg stats office (STATEC).
By your email of 9 December 2021 you inform us that your “request was
specifically intended for non-aggregated, detailed data (as the title of
the request states, barring any personal data of course), such as, for
example, detailed GPS locations of where *individual* accidents have
happened. In fact I have already asked STATEC if they could provide me
with such information, and their answer has been that this was not
possible.”
We regret to learn that the answer we have provided does not correspond to
your initial request.
In this e-mail you have further specified the documents which you were
requesting.
Under these circumstances we are ready to deal with your request in the
framework of a new application.
We would be very grateful if you could present a new request, clarifying
exactly what are the documents you are looking for.
Yours sincerely,
Road Safety Team
