SOUNDBITE (Italian), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, <p>To block the works of the high speed train today would make great harm to the Italian economy, it would mean to throw away the work of hundreds of workers, that have already realized an important part of the works.</p>

SOUNDBITE (Italian), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, to close would mean to lose a lot of jobs, it would also mean to constrict France and Italy to works of maintenance and what has already been constructed cannot be used, we should think of such flows of billions. Millions and millions that will be wasted due to the whims of a few representatives of a government that doesn't realise the importance of realising infrastructural works and which aims to isolate Italy from the rest of Europe.

SOUNDBITE (Italian), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, To transform a project of great works that will permit to reduce CO2 emissions, to increase trade, help companies, to help tourism because a trip will take 2 hours instead of the 4 hours today - we can't block progress because of someone's whim.
