Terrorism: Attack of the killer suppositories
6 October 2009PresseuropSüddeutsche Zeitung
Less than six weeks after its launch — and a multitude of technical problems later — the high-speed Fyra train between Amsterdam and Brussels has been taken off the tracks. A flop that brings into question the way international supply contracts are handed out. 
The planned high-speed train that was supposed to link Lisbon to Kiev will not be pulling away from the platform anytime soon. The crisis and the many obstacles on a route that promised to take travelers from the Atlantic to the Russian steppe mean that the European rail corridor has almost ground to halt. 
Nine countries for 500 euros. The two Le Monde journalists conclude their tour of the continent with the observation that the Irish airline will take you everywhere ... but leave you a long way from anywhere. 
After Beauvais, Trapani and Frankfurt, our two intrepid Le Monde journalists continue their tour of the world of low-cost, where many surprising encounters await… 
With its apparently unbeatable fares, the Irish airline has played an essential role in increasing European mobility. But what is the reality of low-cost travel in Europe? Having spent only 500 euros on flights, two journalists from Le Monde report on their experience of visiting nine countries in five days.
The European Commission has identified ten rail infrastructure projects as a priority, aiming to facilitate the flow of passengers and merchandise, all the while accelerating European integration. An ambition that is facing political and public opposition. 
One year after air traffic was shut down across Europe following the eruption of Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull volcano, airlines and European authorities are simulating a new ash cloud over the continent. Objective: better coordination. But that’s yet to be seen. 
Spain now boasts the biggest high-speed rail network in Europe. But does it make ecological or, more to the point in these times of crisis, economic sense? 
Thanks to the A380, the European consortium Airbus has beaten American rival Boeing in the jumbo jet sector. Still, no American carrier has yet invested in the Superjumbo. 
France's SNCF and its German rival Deutsche Bahn are locked in a struggle to corner the high-speed train market. London weekly The Economist argues they would better off merge. 
The paralysis of air traffic across Europe since the eruption of Eyjafjallajoekull in Iceland is due in part to the absence of a single policy regarding the European airspace. Some in the Austrian and French press argue that it's now time to move forward with this long postponed project. 
The disruption of air traffic triggered by the Eyjafjallajoekull volcanic ash cloud reveals not just how big Europe is but also its social and economic weaknesses, argues columnist Hamish McRae 
The aviation standstill was not caused by facts, but by a computer simulation. Increasingly powerful computers now take decisions off our hands. Not only in the air, but in everyday life, too. So we need an overseer to control computer decisions, urges the FAZ. 
The failed terrorist attacks over the past few days have rekindled the debate about security in the face of terrorist threats. Whilst several countries are now planning to spend millions on tightening up airport security, jurist Stefano Rodotà warns against the gradual erosion of freedom and democracy in the extended aftermath of 9/11. - 1 of 2
