Under Giscard, surely?

"It's the statue, man, The Statue."

• Paris-Baudrecourt (beyond Metz): this is the LGV Est Européen first leg, to open 10 June
  
• Baudrecourt-Strasbourg: TGV Est Européen second leg, originally due by 2010, then Chirac's various governments left it hanging in the air, presently it is said to come "by 2014 at the latest"
  
• Strasbourg-Kehl-Appenweier: the crossing of the Rhine and the Franco-German border -- merely by upgrading for just 160(-Kehl)/200(Kehl-) km/h and double-tracking the existing railway was originally scheduled to open along with the TGV Est first leg, now 2010 or later
  
• Appenweier-Karlsruhe: part of DB's long-planned and several times part-delayed four-tracking of the Rhine Valley route, partially built today, the high-speed tracks for 200-250 km/h
  
• Karlsruhe-Stuttgart: this is a hole in the network, no straight line planned, trains go first North on a conventional line then Southeast on the existing Mannheim-Stuttgart high-speed line
  
• Stuttgart-Ulm: expensive city-crossing tunnels and mountain-crossing high-speed line long planned, will it be built by 2015? Forget it
  
• Ulm-Augsburg: upgrade to 200 km/h in progress, no high-speed planned
  
• Augsburg-Munich: complete four-tracking with high-speed tracks' upgrade to 230 km/h in progress for years (ready by 2010), no high-speed planned
  
• Munich-Salzburg: some 200 km/h at the beginning, the rest 160 km/h and only minor upgrades planned, except in Salzburg where three-tracking is in progress -- motivated by the local rapid transit, no EU policy
  
• Salzburg-Wels (before Linz): minor upgrades for mostly 160 km/h, four-tracking or even the more sensible new high-speed parallel alignment was planned but then became a victim of budget cuts
  
• Wels-Vienna: four-tracking with 200 km/h high-speed tracks, many sections already in operation, most of the rest already in construction &should be ready by 2014
  
• Vienna-Bratislava: the only project along the corridor that received a boost recently, after Austrian railways ÖBB tried to please demand with another, cheap-o link between the two capitals; an upgrade to 160 km/h (presently 120 km/h or less)
  
• Vienna-Budapest: mostly 160 km/h already today, mostly minor upgrades and track renewal planned, plus EU money may finance one city bypass in Hungary
