WRITTEN QUESTION E-2540/01

by Ioannis Souladakis (PSE) to the Council

(20 September 2001)

Subject: Reconstruction of destroyed road and rail networks

The Nato bombings of Yugoslavia destroyed the road network which used to connect Greece to central
Europe; this begins in Thessaloniki and traverses FYROM, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Croatia,
Slovenia, Hungary and Austria, but is now only functioning along 53 % of its total length. The railway
network has also suffered the same damage, with only 52 % of its total track length in operation.

Has the Council examined the issue of the damage suffered by the Member States of the European Union
because of the destruction of the network, and the resulting transport difficulties?

Does the Council have any proposals for the reconstruction of the destroyed network which include
specific amounts and timetables for putting right the damage done to the road and rail networks and, if so,
where will these appropriations be taken from?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2542/01

by Ioannis Souladakis (PSE) to the Council

(20 September 2001)

Subject: Restoration of links between Greek and EU electricity networks

It is well known that, because of the fighting in former Yugoslavia, the Adriatic supply line for the
electricity network was destroyed in Mostar, while the corresponding line passing through Croatia was
destroyed in Ernestinovo.

Since these lines are of vital importance in connecting Greece to the rest of the European electrical power
network:

7 has the Council taken any specific action to date to ensure restoration of the network?

7 Has it included restoration of the destroyed lines as a priority in the reconstruction programmes for

Bosnia-Herzegovina?

7 Are there any estimates of the cost of restoring the network?

Joint answer
to Written Questions E-2540/01 and E-2542/01

(12 February 2002)

On several occasions in recent years the Council has stressed the importance of the European Union taking
a ‘regional approach’ to the Balkan region. The need for efficient regional infrastructure, especially in terms
of transport and the supply of electricity, has been noted several times in the context of the Council and
the Stability Pact, in which the European Union plays a leading role.

As regards the restoration of road and rail networks, and more specifically the network linking Greece to
Central Europe (Corridor X), and the possibility of contributing to any priority projects put forward by the
States concerned, the Honourable Member is invited to address his questions direct to the Commission.
