<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"As part of the trans-European multimodal CorridorIV (Berlin-Dresden-Prague-Bratislava-Sofia-Istanbul), there are plans to extend the motorway network around Prague. Parts of this work have already been carried out; discussions are now focussing on construction of the north-western section of the orbital motorway. Two options are under consideration: option‘J’, which would pass through heavily populated areas of northern Prague, and option‘Ss’, which would pass through less densely populated areas further north, on the outskirts of Prague.  1.What does the EU estimate the cost of the project to be?  2.Has EU funding been requested for this construction work? If so, by whom and how much, and has this funding been approved?  3.If EU funding has been approved, what conditions were laid down? If no EU funding has been approved, why not?  4.According to the information available to the EU, has an environmental impact assessment of each of the options been carried out? If so, what were their findings? If not, why not?  5.In the EU’s estimation, are the costs of option ‘J’ significantly higher than those of option‘Ss’ on account of geological conditions? If so, by how much?  6.In the opinion of the EU, is there a danger that, under option ‘J’, urban and long-distance traffic would not be separated, and that this option would therefore not be in line with Decision No1692/96/EC(1), according to which bottlenecks in long-distance traffic should be avoided?  7.How does the Commission assess the advantages and disadvantages of the two options?    (1)OJ L 228, 9.9.1996, p. 1."
