  • The project to connect the Peninsula with France via a railway was designed over two decades ago.
  • This project would be beneficial to several regions of Spain and to promote the country's economy, in accordance with EU objectives.
  • The project was frustrated by prioritizing other political interests such as the Mediterranean Corridor.
  • The Aragonese Government plans to recover the project due to its strategic value.
  • Meetings will be held with the European Transport Commissioner to discuss reopening the Canfranc-Pau line, and the Central Pyrenean Crossing.
  • Spain is far from the goal of expanding freight transport.

Conclusion: The railway project would boost the Spanish economy and several regions would benefit from it. However, it has been forgotten due to other political interests.
