It is a forum in which Ministers responsible for transport, and more speci®cally the inland transport sector, can co-operate on policy. Within this forum, Ministers can openly discuss current problems and agree upon joint approaches aimed at improving the utilisation and at ensuring the rational development of European transport systems of international importance. At present, the ECMT's role primarily consists of: ± helping to create an integrated transport system throughout the enlarged Europe that is economically and technically ef®cient, meets the highest possible safety and environmental standards and takes full account of the social dimension; ± helping also to build a bridge between the European Union and the rest of the continent at a political level. The Council of the Conference comprises the Ministers of Transport of 39 full Member countries: Albania, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (F.Y.R.O.M.), Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, the Russian Federation, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.

    Tunnels and Underground Cities: Engineering and Innovation meet Archaeology, Architecture and Art – Peila, Viggiani & Celestino (Eds) © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, London, ISBN 978-1-138-38865-9 Brenner base tunnel & Isarco River underpass section: Several technical and operational solutions P. Lunardi Lunardi Geo-Engineering, Milan, Italy G. Cassani, M. Gatti & L. Bellardo Rocksoil S.p.A., Milan, Italy ABSTRACT: The Brenner Base Tunnel is part of the TEN-T SCAN-MED corridor and allows the overcoming as a natural barrier of the Alpine ranges. The Isarco River Underpass represents the southernmost construction lot and links the Brenner Base Tunnel with the existing Brenner line and the railway station in Fortezza. The section will include civil works for the two main tunnels for a total length of roughly 4.3 km, as well as two interconnecting tunnels for a total length of 2.3 km that connect with the existing railway line. Construction will be extremely complex from a technical point of view: both the main tunnels and the interconnecting tunnels will pass under the Isarco River, the A22 motorway, the SS12 motorway and the Verona-Bren- ner railway line with a minimal leeway. The work is scheduled to be completed in 2023. The paper summarizes the design choices made for the construction of the underground works, with specific reference to the construction of the Isarco river underpass tunnels. The excavation will be performed with a very shallow cover, ranging between 5–8 m, very close to the river bed. It will start from shafts on the riverbanks, after ground improvement and soil freezing.

Since the day it was finished, art students have journeyed to Milan to view the work, which takes up a refectory wall in a Dominican convent next to the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. The 20th-century writer Aldous Huxley called it “the saddest work of art in the world”: he was referring not to the impact of the scene – the moment when Christ tells his disciples “one of you will betray me” – but to the fresco’s state of deterioration.
