The new ZF fiscal spaces plan to turn the province into a production center for the implementation of competitive companies and industries
The delegate of the Cádiz Free Zone, Jorge Ramos, has intensified the efforts and has held several meetings in recent days in order to seek the necessary support and collaboration between institutions that facilitate the launch of the Southern European Logistics Platform, looking for physical spaces in strategic areas where the Cádiz Site would be expanded and customs and tax advantages would be implemented.
This initiative promoted by the mayor of Cádiz, Teófila Martínez, and put into operation by Zona Franca and the town councils of Cádiz, Jerez and Algeciras, has once again had the support of the Government after the recent announcement by the Minister of Development, Ana Pastor, in Panama about the approval in October of the Spanish Logistics Development Strategy, which will begin to be applied precisely in Cádiz.
Jorge Ramos has already held meetings with the mayor of Jerez, María José García Pelayo, with the mayor of Algeciras, José Ignacio Landaluce, with the mayor of Los Barrios, Jorge Romero, and with the mayor of La Línea, Gema Araujo, among others.
Currently, the most suitable spaces are being studied where the Free Trade Zone would implement its advantages in order for the province to go from being a distribution center to also being, and above all, a production center, in order to attract competitive companies and industries that create centers of production, wealth and economic activity. At the same time, it would serve to physically configure the legs on which the Logistics Platform is supported.
The Free Zone wants to emphasize the need for collaboration between institutions to give maximum speed to this initiative that will greatly benefit the province, developing the potential in order to attract commercial traffic to Cádiz that generates employment and wealth and take advantage of the opportunity in the global framework of transport logistics and foreign trade.
The meetings held by Jorge Ramos with the mayors of the aforementioned municipalities are essential for choosing the appropriate spaces, which will allow the Free Trade Zone to quadruple its land.
The Cádiz Institution has the advantage that in some of these municipalities, such as Algeciras and Los Barrios, it already has plots that could be used for the implementation of the Free Trade Zone in them. In any case, the support and maximum diligence of all administrations, including the regional one, is essential, with the objective being the development of an initiative that will serve to create new productive spaces with the implementation of competitive companies that generate economic activity throughout the province.
