The European Union (EU) has selected 112 as the Union's official emergency number, and required member nations to implement it by Dec. 1992. However, several countries, including England (999), already had three-digit numbers and, since the EU directive, have continued to operate them in parallel with the required 112 number. As yet, the EU has not required nations to use only 112.
