In a "Green Paper" published by the European Commission entitled
"Towards a new culture for urban mobility":
<http://ec.europa.eu/transport/clean/green_paper_urban_transport/doc/2007_09_25_gp_urban_mobility_en.pdf>
one can read on page 18:
"Stakeholders have also suggested encouraging safe behaviour among
cyclists, for example by promoting the use of bicycle helmets across
Europe or by encouraging research on more ergonomic design of
helmets."
I'd have appreciated it were the Commission to have said exactly who
these "Stakeholders" are, and what their evidence is - otherwise, the
uncharitable interpretation might be that once again, the EC is being
used by lobbyists to attain commercial goals.
