WRITTEN QUESTIONS TO COMMISSIONER

GEORGIEVA

Hearing on 25 January 2016

Lyon- Turin

1.      The project of the high-speed railway Lyon-Turin is part of TEN-T projects financed by the European Union. Could the Commissioner provide the following information:

a    How many funds were disbursed in 2014 to the project by the EU?  Could the Commission provide detailed data for every year till now of EU funds so far handed out?

b    What systems of expenditure control have been applied?

c    What actions related to the project have been funded (exploration, preparatory work, etc)?

d    Are there certifications on proper expenditure regarding 2014 related to EU funds used in the project?

e    Could the Commission also provide a copy of the application for funding submitted by the French Ministry of Ecology, Development and Energy (2014-EU-TM-0401-M ​​*) as approved by the European Commission?

f     Can the Commission provide the assessment of the project impact from an economic and an environmental point of view?

 

g How the fact that France does not allow the passage of trains on its territory suitable for carrying lorries has affected the impact assessments? What are the estimates for the expected traffic in case France should abolish this restriction?

h    In Italy some work on the project were assigned to companies linked to organized crime (sentenced for this reason). What preventive measures have been put in place for funding handed out to these companies? What anti-mafia certifications is the Commission requesting to the companies benefiting from European funding?

i     In Decision C2008-7733 for the granting of financial assistance of € 671.8 million, the cost of the activity 1.5 “gallery Saint Martin de la Porte” (page 23) was estimated at € 96.1 million for 300 meters (over 300 m optional – pages 12 and 13/147) defined in the grant application. The decision C2013-1376 indicates for Activity 5 “Gallery Saint Martin de la Porte” (page 14) an evolution of the eligible cost of € 250,118,925. What is the justification for the 2.5-fold increase of the eligible cost? What exactly is financing, what are the changes in the application for funding and how it was decided this change?

Commission’s answer:  a) In 2014, € 8.865.700 was disbursed following the assessment of the 4th interim payment claim of the 2007-EU-06010-P Action.Detailed data on TEN-T and CEF disbursements by year are presented in the table below (in EUR):

b) The Commission applies two systems of expenditure control:

  1. “Ex-ante control” on each submitted payment claim. They are performed by the Finance and Operational Units of INEA, based on the analysis of technical and financial reports and a sampling methodology aiming at providing a reasonable assurance that the accepted costs comply with the definition of eligible costs as per the Decision.
  1. “Ex-post control”, i.e. after a payment is made. They are performed by the External Audit function of the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA). For the Lyon-Turin two audits were performed in July 2011 and March 2013. In May 2015 the European Court of Auditors performed an audit as well, with no findings yet.

c) Activities funded so far include studies (preliminary and final design studies; geological investigation; environmental studies) and land acquisition.

d) Yes, the Member States’ certification is a compulsory document when submitting a payment claim to INEA. Based on internal audit, external audit or any other form of verification, they certify that:

·         Requests for payment are complete, reliable and true;

·         Claimed costs are eligible and duly substantiated;

·         Used accounting rules comply with legislation in force;

·         Obligations to pay taxes and social security contribution are respected;

·         Activities do not benefit from any other Community funding.

e) This request must be assessed under the provisions of Regulation 1049/2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents.   Article 4(5) of this Regulation provides that a Member State may request the institutions not to disclose a document originating from that Member State without its prior agreement. Therefore, the Commission cannot disclose the application sent by France without its agreement.

f) The Commission can’t provide such document without the agreement of Member States. Some of the documents are part of the application sent by the beneficiaries. As explained in the previous point, these are document originated by Member States and therefore, according to Regulation 1049/2001, we need the agreement of the Member State to disclose it.

g) A railway motorway service is being used since 2003 on the existing line and provides a commercial service between Aiton-Bourgneuf in Savoie and Orbassano, on the outskirts of Turin. The use of lowered wagons enables the transport of entire trailers or trucks up to a height of 4 metres, notably because of the limits of size of the historic line.  The aim with this first railway motorway through the Northern Alps is to transport, ultimately, 100 000 trucks per year.  The construction of the Lyon-Turin line will allow the implementation of a high capacity rail motorway on the model of Eurotunnel, able to embark rapidly over 700 000 lorries per year on shuttle trains (all types of heavy vehicles up to 4,20 metres in height). Taking into account other freight traffic (freight trains and conventional trains of containers), the capacity of the new link will represent 40 MT/year, i.e. the equivalent of 3 million trucks.

h) Commission ex-ante and ex-post controls are in place to ensure regularity of the spending and have confirmed that the contracting authority requires the compulsory submission of anti-mafia certificates covering key executives of the tendering parties in the tendering process for contract opportunities published according to LFT procurement rules, and which are to be delivered in Italian territory -both as matter of procurement policy and in practice for the contracts tested.

i) Although the title of activity 1.5 did not change, the technical description of the activities was substantially extended. A study, finalised in 2011, after the adoption of the C2008-7733 underlined the need to make more thorough investigations as regards geological, hydrogeological and geo-mechanic conditions in the Houiller rock massif, where the future excavation of the base tunnel will cross the weakest ground conditions. This is why the scope of activity 1.5 was extended.  As a matter of fact, while Decision C2008-7733 was referring to 300 meters, Decision C2013-1376 referred to 3 kilometers.

In large civil construction projects, information about rock properties is gathered before the full excavations begin to: i) evaluate the technical feasibility of future works, through the identification of any geological and environmental problem linked to the use of tunnel boring machine (TBM); ii) plan appropriate technical solutions for a timely and cost-effective implementing plan of future works; iii) prepare tender of the future works  (define terms of reference and decide the most appropriate financial package).

So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you?

    argue in favour of 2 years). Sometime web designers
    will use techniques that would never be considered for non-ecommerce websites.
    If you like their work and if their previous clients assure you they are reliable,
    they could be the company for you.
