When disaster strikes, borders must not be a barrier for emergency teams. 🚒🚑🚓 Read more: https://link.europa.eu/8Hq39t

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Isn't there already a European standard, TETRA? Whatever you do, don't repeat the mistake the US did by mandating Project 16 with a proprietary voice codec without capping royalties, so Project 16 radios are 4x as expensive as Tetra ones due to price gouging (San Francisco had to play $500M just to upgrade its buses and trains).

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Is it always a new person in charge of the account and the previous one is fired or why are there every few post wrongly inserted links? You MUST put the protocol (https://) before the link. https://link.europa.eu/8Hq39t
