With this galardón, Simeprovi wants to recognise the work realised by this Commission that, from his creation, has contributed of decisive way to the reduction of victims in road in our country. According to Juan Manuel Álvarez, president of Simeprovi, “the Commission of hygiene Vial and Sustainable Mobility is an example of unit, consensus, tesón, proof and constant communication with all the organisations that somehow have competition in matter of hygiene vial. For Simeprovi, the Commission always has been an indispensable interlocutor with which share and advance in the fight against the accidentalidad”.

By his part, the president of the Commission, the deputy of CIU Pere Macias, has appreciated this galardón that supposes –according to his words- a recognition to all the people that work and have worked in said Commission. “It seems me of strict justice and can say it, since this is a prize that concedes and recognises to a path of the Commission with which in his moment have not had to see and collect and with this recognise the work of the deputies and deputies that during these ochos of Commission have worked acutely”.
