BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Union car and truck safety rules will be revised by the end of the year after pressure from campaigners to cut the number of road deaths by forcing manufacturers to include technologies which make vehicles safer.

A draft policy document outlining initiatives to be adopted this year, seen by Reuters on Friday, includes a review of vehicle safety regulation, which has been unchanged since 2009.
