"The government - minister of Infrastructures and Trasporti has declared, Corrado Passera, in occasion of the convention of presentation of the project - has faced and exceeded many problems and has returned the mass in work of a strategic infrastructure for the territory, Italy and the entire European community possible. Nella Legge di Stabilità we have allocated almost three billions of euro, of which first 840 million they could be spold in three years 2013-2015 and other 150 million per year in period 2016-2029. I have appreciated - it has continued Passera - the model followed from the Observatory, that it has listened and valued the contributions of the territories. A model that we have resumed also from the normative point of view, proposing a bill that introduces, also in Italy, the procedure of public consultation. The prosecuzione of the work of Turin-Lyon, the realization of the great works that we have unblocked and financed for about 40 billion euros and the acceleration which printed to the various procedures of other infrastructures, with an amount of equal capacity, is the demonstration that Italy can be redeemed and recover the accumulated delay in the years on the infrastructural front. One of the more important inheritances is that lasciamo to who will happen to us".
