Mrs McKenna, I must tell you that with regard to trans-European networks right now priority is being given
to rail projects, if that is what you are concerned about. The major part – the investments – corresponds to large rail projects.
Secondly, what is intended in this White Paper – in which we shall have the opportunity to discuss all these issues in great depth, and in which problems of charging and the competitiveness of the various modes of transport, etc., will also appear – is precisely to make progress in sorting out bottlenecks, which does not mean that in some cases we shall not have to think about enhancing certain road infrastructures.
What is also intended is a greater use of transport modes such as river or coastal transport, and what is intended, above all, is to facilitate the integration of the transport system, because in the end, sooner or later, roads always seem to come into it to guarantee the ‘door to door’ factor, which is a decisive element. This means intermodality, interconnection platforms, and also interoperability in freight systems too.
As for the sums for the 2000-2006 period, I frankly cannot give you the exact figures. What I can tell you is that at the moment more than 50% is already being earmarked for projects that have to do with the rail sector."@en1
