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. 
The construction of the A2 by the COVEC Group was supposed to herald the Chinese construction giant’s entry into Europe. But the company, which underestimated the mysteries of Polish public tenders, has been forced to suspend work on the project. 
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? 
The advent of Chinese companies has shaken up the civil engineering market in Poland, and aroused the interest of its Czech neighbours. The Chinese secret: cut rates, punctuality and using local manpower. Plus backup from Beijing, of course. 
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. 
In the time of the Venetian Republic, the Adriatic ports were the trade capitals for the Orient. They are now reuniting to challenge northern Europe’s maritime monopoly, with an economic and ecological edge. 
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. 
Ryanair enjoys huge subsidies at many of Europe’s 200 or more regional airports. A number of competitors, Lufthansa and Air France among them, suggest that these subsidies low-cost Irish airline receive are not only questionable, but that it couldn’t survive without them. 
The cloud of ash from Eyjafjallajoekull volcano grounded millions of casual travellers, as well as much of the frequent flyers community. Spanish columnist Joana Bonet describes this parallel – and artificial – society. 
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. 
Whether they be heads of state or ordinary citizens, travelers across Europe are suffering from the consequences of the ash cloud generated by the Eyjafjallajoekull volcano — a chaotic situation that should prompt a review of EU transport policy. 
At the border crossing in the town of Narva, people queue for over two days to take advantage of cheaper petrol prices in Russia. With the Estonian economy faltering, small-time smuggling is on the rise. 
The collapse of SkyEurope is yet another proof of the fragility of low-cost airlines, which are often founded by enthusiastic but inexperienced entrepreneurs, and lack the sufficient size and capital to take on the competition, reports De Standaard. 
Budget travel is a reality for modern Europeans, a part of everyday life. Accounting for its environmental impact may affect the as yet fragile common European identity it lends to flying citizens. 
The global economic crisis is wreaking havoc on shipping: prices, along with demand, have collapsed and ports are filling up with fleets of empty freighters. The crisis has fueled cut-throat competition and not all companies will survive. Hamburg, with a quarter of the world's shipping activity, is particularly feeling the pinch.
