Vice-President Tajani met on 26 May in Genoa with ministers for transport or their representatives from the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Switzerland and Italy to push forward the priority rail axis between Rotterdam and Genoa. This north-south freight and passenger rail axis, known as the priority axis n°24, connects Lyon/Genoa – Basel – Duisburg – Rotterdam/Antwerp. The rail freight corridor A Rotterdam – Genoa is a major component of the priority axis n°24 and is expected to be one of the first among six major rail freight corridors to be equipped with the European rail traffic management system (ERTMS).
