Mr President, honourable Member, the Commission became aware of the closure of the Somport road very recently, and asked the French authorities to provide it with information. In the light of the French response, the Commission will assess whether the closure for all vehicles over 3.5 tonnes is justified. It will then decide whether a violation procedure needs to be brought against France.
Currently, the new Pyrenees crossing is only at the stage of the initial feasibility studies to identify the route options for this cross-border corridor. No decision has been taken at this stage by the Spanish and French Governments regarding when this new Pyrenees crossing could be opened.
The Commission is ensuring that the national authorities are taking concrete steps to research and prepare this priority project. I would like to add on a personal note, honourable Member, that I am closely monitoring these Pyrenees crossings, which are necessary for greater mobility not only between Spain and France but between the whole of Europe and the Iberian Peninsula.
I think that, following the incident that you highlighted, we need to continue discussions and dialogue in order to move forward in the direction that you want us to take."@en1
