Madam President, I regret the Commissioner’s absence, as I wished to thank her for indicating she was favourably disposed to the creation of a major central axis through the Pyrenees, with significant railway capacity. This would benefit sustainable development too.
I also regret the absence of Commission representation, because we would welcome a prompt response from the Commission concerning the Commissioner’s proposal for the new trans-European networks.
Finally, I feel obliged to rectify a comment made in the House this morning. Mr Mayol i Raynal proposed the recreation of a State of Catalonia extending from Fraga to Mahon. I am bound to state I am completely opposed to Fraga becoming part of such a state. Fraga has been part of Aragon since the Middle Ages. Consequently, it is not part of Catalonia and never has been. I would like this minuted, please.
