MILAN - Italy’s prime minister said on Saturday tenders for a high-speed rail link to France could not be finalised without explicit government approval, buying time to defuse a dispute within the ruling coalition over the project.
Tensions between the two sides had escalated ahead of a Monday deadline for the company overseeing the project, TELT, to launch tenders to carry out works on it, threatening to bring down the government. However, it said it would not proceed with the definition of contracts without the consent of both the Italian and French governments.
The TAV is a joint venture between the Italian and French states to link the cities of Turin and Lyon with a 58-km tunnel through the Alps on which work has already begun. His French counterpart, Elisabeth Borne, said on Friday the European Commission had let it be known it was willing to increase its share to 50 percent, leaving France and Italy to finance 25 percent each.
