A life-saving number everyone should know.

@EUCommission wish it would work everywhere. Here in Portugal, they hang up on you 50% of the time

My kids explained to me how they remember the EU single emergency number 112 in Spanish:
Una boca, una nariz, y dos ojos
... accompanied by simple gestures of touching each.
Thought it was a lovely, easy way for them to remember.

@mikaeleiman @EUCommission why ? We don't use this horrible date sorting thing.

@EUCommission Last time I checked, deaf / hearing-impaired, or mute individuals "can" also use 112, but each country treats them differently, often encouraging them to use a dedicated App or other services / numbers instead.
Has this been streamlined already, or is this still as opaque as it used to be? -

In the Netherlands there was a campaign with the slogan:

112 also works in the UK even after the stupidity of Brexit

YYYY-MM-DD: good for machines (and people working with them)
DD-MM-YYYY: good for people (easier for conversations and casual use)
MM-DD-YYYY: seek help…(Jk, of course

@EUCommission We take it for granted, but, Oh, boy! should we be thankful this service exists… Huge thank you to operators working these lines.

)@dmian @Caprarius @mikaeleiman @EUCommission DD-MM-YYYY is just as wrong as saying it's now 2 minutes and 12 o'clock, or that someone is 81 centimetres and 1 meter tall
It's not easier, it's just something you're used to.
(Also, YYYY-MM-DD is perfectly fine for people in Japan, Korea, China and Hungary)

Nope. Day, month, year is logical. -

@EUCommission you hear all the time "the EU cost us soooo much, what does the EU do for us?"
People are so ignorant, cause they don't remember, how it was once. I am out of a generation that had the experience!
One phone number for emergency calls, you can visit a doctor in another EU country with your insurance card, no passport needed into EU, no problem with your EU driver license, you pay the same price in a foreign EU mobile phone net, like at home etc.
Just more of EU standardization!

@haaflife @EUCommission Are yours subcontracted to private operators that exploit their employees too? Might be worth looking into who runs it, because in Andalucia and Valencia that's exactly what "happens".
Just in case some EUropeans think the EU somehow *operates* 112. It does not.
Denuncian que "solo dos personas" atendían el 112 de Córdoba durante las borrascas Leonardo y Marta
El Sindicato de Servicios de CCOO de Córdoba denuncia que solo un coordinador y un gestor respondían en un nivel 2 del Plan de Emergencias por Riesgo de Inundaciones y con avisos amarillos y naranjas en toda la provincia

@EUCommission This is also part of the GSM (mobile) standard so if you dial 112 anywhere in the world on your mobile it will connect you to the nearest emergency line. A signal from any network is required so not to worry if your reception is not great.
