The EC is not keen for Poland to use rail funds for roads. This became clear during talks between Poland's Ministry of Infrastructure and the 2465 European Commission (EC). This means that funds worth €1.2 billion originally allocated for rail projects will not be transferred to road spending. A final ruling by the EC has yet to be made, although Poland may appeal. The Polish Government wanted to reallocate the rail funds to the road programme to make up for budget spending cuts.
