<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"The ‘Mobilité21’ report submitted to the French Minister for Transport in June2013 stated that the Poitiers-Limoges high-speed rail link was controversial in terms of the need for it and the issues involved, and that nothing justified it being classed as a top priority. A report published by the French Court of Auditors on 23October2014 stated that the high-speed line had been the subject of irrational political decisions and distorted profitability estimates. The report stated that Réseau ferré de France, the company that owns and manages France’s railway network, had massively inflated the level of traffic on the high-speed line between Poitiers and Limoges. It also pointed out that profitability was likely to hit just 3%, meaning that subsidies of up to 80% could be needed to operate the line. The auditors’ report also states that although the line is not a priority and is not financed, it is still going full steam ahead. The French Government has apparently bent to pressure from local authorities, ignoring cost-efficiency concerns.  The EU has decided to invest EUR4million of ERDF funding in the plans for this high-speed line, and there have been reports in the press of European co-financing for the link to the tune of EUR200million.  1.Is theEU intending to continue with its backing for this ill-conceived rail project?  2.How will theEU justify this expenditure to the European Court of Auditors and the European Parliament?"
