The Paris-Strasbourg-Stuttgart-Vienna-Bratislava rail axis is one of the thirty priority projects of the trans-European transport network.
As from 10 June, a new commercial service will be implemented between France and Germany following the opening of 300 kilometres of new high-speed lines between Paris and Baudrecourt in the Lorraine region. This section is part of this priority project. The line will be opened on Thursday 15 March.
The new commercial service will provide for four daily return journeys between Paris and Stuttgart, starting 10 June 2007. This service will be extended to Munich when the new timetables are introduced in early December 2007. This service will run on the existing line between Stuttgart and Munich.
As you know, the Commission is closely monitoring the modernisation of the sections between Stuttgart and Ulm. In July 2005, it appointed Peter Balazs as the European coordinator for this line, who submitted an initial progress report published on 13 September 2006. The coordinator is giving special priority to the Stuttgart-Ulm bottleneck, which absolutely must be reduced.
Furthermore, the Commission is already cofinancing the sections between Augsbourg and Munich, the entry into service of which is scheduled partly for 2008 and partly for 2010.
I should like to point out to you, Mr Posselt, that the coordinator and the Commission are paying very close attention to the studies and the construction of the line between Strasbourg, Kehl and Appenweyer – the interconnection of the French and German networks with the Kehl Bridge, for which we have been waiting for so many years. I am fairly optimistic. I believe that we are well under way on this and that this project, which Mr Balazs is monitoring extremely closely, is on the right track, if I can use the expression."@en1
