"Commission. – (ES) I do not know exactly what you mean by efficient price. If you are talking about a price which discourages transport, the problem is that high tariffs are being paid to cross certain specific areas, when there is currently no alternative.
Therefore, until the implementation of the agreement with Switzerland – and I hope that will be next year – which has been ratified by the Swiss people, an agreement which will undoubtedly open up alternatives to the current routes and will allow some of the north-south traffic to use certain corridors through Switzerland, there are not many alternative routes, especially because certain routes have had problems with tunnel accidents in recent times.
In this respect I believe that the main effort should be made with regard to creating better rail connections, which may be real alternatives, which may really even transport lorries by rail. This is one of our current objectives. However, such a complex and accident-prone area, geographically, requires projects, which we are working on, which need time to develop. This in no way means that we have abandoned them. On the contrary, we are continuing with the idea of taking them forward with the support of the Commission and the support of the countries involved. This is the reason for the creation of a public interest association, seeking public-private funding, given the size of the project and possible future viability."@en1
