lpv:translated text	"Madam President, as rapporteur for TENs, I would like to start by thanking Mr Antonione for being here today, and I would like to thank Commissioner De Palacio for her work in general on this renowned project. In the few minutes available to me, I would like to say that the experience I have accumulated in the field of TENs has led me to draw two conclusions. Firstly, we could say that we are dealing with a pipe dream, something that was decided many years ago but was not then implemented when it came down to it, perhaps because of a lack of resources but perhaps because of a lack of will too. Secondly, a series of debates has been launched in the individual States on the different resources, on the reference legislation, on the question of whether to focus the TEN project on rail transport or on priority objectives; ultimately, however, of all the original projects – the famous 14 – 11 have yet to be completed. On the other hand, what we are attempting to do – and I would express my appreciation to the Commission here for its endeavours – is, thanks to the work of the Van Miert High Level Group, review the TEN objectives and, in particular, the resources. I believe that all the individual States would like this project to be important in terms of the expansion of their economies, of job creation, of attempting to create a genuine network across the 15 nations, soon to be 25. It is therefore important to appropriate more funds. We must therefore endeavour to achieve about 30 or 40% in non-returnable funds; we must aim not just at EUR 600 million per year but at achieving between EUR 6 billion and EUR 8 billion per year for the next ten years. We all hope that this will be possible and I believe that, with the help of the Italian Presidency in these six months, we will be able to succeed."@en1
