Both institutions will develop an in-depth study of the possibilities of implementing auxiliary companies in the tax and customs areas of the Cádiz Free Trade Zone.
SMEs, small merchants and the self-employed will have a clear diagnosis of the activities they carry out as auxiliary companies of large industries.
The State delegate in the Free Trade Zone, Jorge Ramos, met last Wednesday in Madrid with Fernando Bayón, general director of the School of Industrial Organization (EOI), dependent on the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism, in a meeting in which they addressed the development of an Employability Plan for the province of Cádiz.
The main objective of this plan will be an in-depth study of the reality of the economic activity that occurs in Cádiz and its shortcomings to promote the installation of small and medium-sized companies, merchants and self-employed workers that serve as a base for the auxiliary companies of the large industries and companies that operate in the province of Cádiz.
During the meeting, Ramos and Bayón established the basic lines for the development of this plan, which will be coordinated by both parties and will require the signing of a collaboration agreement between both entities for its implementation.
Likewise, the report will include a detailed study of the economic and social impact that the large extension and expansion project being carried out by the Free Trade Zone will have in Cádiz, which will go from having 300,000 m2 to 1,300,000 m2 of tax area and which will turn the province into the first productive center in Andalusia.
The Cádiz Free Trade Zone is carrying out important work throughout the province to create a quality business and industrial infrastructure. To the more than 60,000 m2 of facilities in its Business Centers, we must now add the fruit of its expansion project and expansion to other municipalities in Cadiz. This makes it possible to make available to entrepreneurs a significant supply of attractive land and available spaces for their businesses, which will increase their competitiveness by being able to benefit from the customs and tax advantages inherent to a tax precinct and will, therefore, save production costs.
EOI was founded in 1955 as a result of the agreement reached between the Ministries of Education and Industry, being the first business school in Spain and one of the first in Europe. The primary objective of the EOI is to promote training and the carrying out and promotion of scientific and technical studies and research, fundamentally in the fields of industry, the environment, innovation, new technologies, small and medium-sized businesses, industrial property, the economy and the prospective on the evolution of science and technology and its impact and influence on the productive sector and society.
