". By agreement with Europe, Austria and Switzerland have laid down limits for heavy goods vehicles, and new railways, currently being built or designed, are planned. This is part of the trans-European transport network, which proposes the Turin-Lyon rail link as an alternative to road travel. The Commission recommended the route for the Aosta-Martigny tunnel, which was restored by the authorities in the Val d’Aosta, in accordance with the Protocol on the Implementation of the Alpine Convention in the field of Transport signed by the States and soon to be signed by the Commission. The Mont Blanc and Fréjus tunnels will now serve as a test to see whether the intention is genuine: the former was closed to traffic following the tragedy whereas the latter has seen a great increase in the transiting of heavy goods vehicles. The communities of the valleys leading to the tunnels voiced their anxiety and concern: in the Chamonix valley there was a request for a ban on heavy goods vehicles and in the Val d’Aosta a request was made for a quota system. There are no limits on heavy goods traffic in the western Alps. Italy and France are going to establish such limits – I recall a draft law I submitted to the Chamber of Deputies – together with the local communities, and communicate them to Europe so that Europe can modify the trans-European transport network and specify the changes in the Commission’s White Paper, which will also cover vehicle transit through the Alps. Measures must be laid down to govern road tunnels between Italy and France, in order to achieve a uniform system throughout the Alps now that the Mont Blanc tunnel is being reopened."@en1
