"The D8 motorway linking Prague and Dresden forms part of the trans-European network of motorways. This motorway has been under construction since the 1980s. It was originally supposed to be ready by the year 2000. It is now clear that, due to delays, even 2012 is not a realistic prospect.
The problem is a 16 km section running through the České Středohoří Protected Area. This project should be financed from European funds to the tune of around CZK 8 billion, and co-financed both by the European Union and the Czech Republic. However, in mid-March this year, the European Commission again informed the Czech Transport Ministry that the evaluation of the project to complete the D8 motorway construction had been halted for a cooling-off period of up to four months. Of course, we cannot agree to this. It makes a bad impression on the public, it has a bad impact on the environment and we are seeing fatalities on the alternative routes. I would therefore like to call on the European Commission to accelerate the process of negotiation and to issue a definitive position."@en1
