Our ability to successfully communicate this message could be considerably improved by your experience with EU-level regulations. We would put our focus on influencing the safety and health (at the workplace) directive. - Education: We are actively exploring opportunities to integrate mandatory CPR training into education curriculums, reaching a broader audience. This includes collaborations with schools/higher education (ex. Universities, etc.) and institutions as well as our ongoing partnership with the European Driving Schools Associations. We would put our focus on the Directive of Driving Licenses.
