Today is European 112 Day 🇪🇺

@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!
@SummerOf68 @EUCommission Also in European English we don't use American spellings so it is standardisation

@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)
@phl @dmian @Caprarius @mikaeleiman @EUCommission Centimetres, metres. Yet another non standard euro

Today is European 112 Day
112 is the EU’s single emergency number. It connects you to ambulance, fire brigade or police. It’s free of charge across Europe and offers language support in many countries.
A life-saving number everyone should know.
@EUCommission 112 is great. Makes life more safe. Works fine in Denmark.

@EUCommission a good idea, copied from the original 999 call in the UK (999 was a sensible number when dial phones existed, not so much now with pocket-dialling errors).

Thank you for the comment, @SummerOf68!
We aim to standardise the things that make our lives easier, while celebrating and protecting the diversity that makes Europe so vibrant!
️ Vive l'Europe! -

@EUCommission and it’s not on January 12th?
@bendirgo
Here in the EU, we generally prefer the format DDMM.
