(ANSA) - BRUXELLES, 31 OTT - The European Commission has backed around €238 million to support the construction, modernisation and upgrade of intermodal transport infrastructure in Poland. The Polish government will support up to 50% of the eligible costs, through funding from the EU Cohesion Fund.

The public aid scheme will also support the purchase of specialised equipment (e.g. lifting and transhipment equipment, telematics and satellite systems) required for intermodal transport. Intermodal operators and rolling stock leasing companies will benefit from it. The Commission concluded that the measure is necessary "to improve the competitiveness of intermodal transport services in Poland". (ANSA).
