lpv:translated text	"Mr President, thank you for your answer, but I do not find it very satisfactory because the Somport issue is ancient history. I am therefore astonished that the Council is not up to date on this, given that several questions have already been asked on this subject. I am equally astonished that you can speak of the trans-European Network whereas the Members concerned, France and Spain, do not consider this stretch of road to be part of the trans-European Network at all. If it were the case, I would immediately request that a study of the impact of this matter be made. I asked you this question because works have started again in Aspe valley. These are huge works just to make a small bypass around the small village of Bedous. They are having a considerable impact on the environment and we know very well that in the long run in France, the usual piecemeal approach will be adopted, like slicing a salami, and that tiny slice by tiny slice, we will end up with a motorway or a dual carriageway in the Aspe valley. Today, then, I would like to see the Council ask what France’s real commitments are in this matter and what means for crossing the Pyrenees the authorities really want to put in place, and I am directing these words to the Finnish Presidency, which has committed itself to the rail crossing and which has spoken in favour of it. If you do not mind, I suggest that you launch an initiative to promote alternative means of transport to the road transport in ecologically sensitive areas, otherwise we will continue to ask you this kind of question and we will only be able to say…"@en1
