One also has to ask the question: "What does the EU expect in return
for their investment"?


In real life: eventual repayment in cash, and the benefits to all EU
member states of improved transport links around a major European

In the paranoid minds of the anti-EU lot: your firstborn child and
your soul.


Ha ha ha, very good!

Talk that the project will be renamed "MonnetRail" is nothing other
than scurrilous rumour making...
