1. As pointed out in reply to Written Question E-001506/2024, the Commission is aware that the situation created by the landslide near La Praz and the ensuing closure of the Fréjus railway line since August 2023 is serious and damaging for operators and the exports of Italian goods. The renovation works on the line will take some time due to their challenging nature .
2. Coordination of trans-Alpine transport is already addressed by existing coordination structures, in particular the Zurich Process[1] and the EU strategy for the Alpine region (EUSALP)[2]. These structures should be used to the largest extent possible in situations such as the current interruption of the Fréjus rail line following the landslide in August 2023 to ensure that traffic can continue on the most efficient routes and that excessive detours are avoided.
3. At this stage, the Commission does not have evidence that not all is done to reopen the line as soon as possible. See please also the reply to question 2.
