| The marked coastal route is absolutely necessary since more than 50% of Spain's GDP is found on that route | It is a fundamental economic development engine for the Campo de Cartagena region The Regional Confederation of Business Organizations of Cartagena claims the importance of the coastal route of the Mediterranean Corridor, as well as its arrival in Cartagena, Lorca and Murcia.
More than 50% of Spain's GDP is found in this way, since more than 90% of agri-food products come from the southeast of Spain, and 50% of these products come from the Murcia region .
On the other hand, this new route would mean the disappearance of the Port of Cartagena as a place of entry and exit of merchandise, an infrastructure that is currently among the first in the national ranking.
COEC, like CROEM, states that it will continue to support tirelessly and firmly the original route of the Mediterranean Corridor, passing through Cartagena, and will not tolerate any changes in an infrastructure absolutely necessary for economic development and County and regional future.
As for AVE, the Confederation believes that the products of the Campo de Cartagena region would use the "rail highway", which would allow the semi-trailers to board the train from origin, which would be the most common way.
It is efficient, safe and ecological transport, in addition to reducing costs.
Ana Correa, president of COEC, explained that "we partner with Ferrmed ??because we believe in the Mediterranean Corridor, in its importance and in the need for it to reach our city and our Region.
It is an engine of development economic and a green means of transport, which avoids emissions into the atmosphere ".
In the same way, Correa has influenced "the irrevocable need for the arrival of the Mediterranean Corridor to Cartagena using the restructuring funds that represent a historical opportunity for these infrastructures to reach the Region once and for all" .
COEC joined Ferrmed ??last July, a multisectoral group whose objective is to unite Northern Europe with Southern Europe through a railway corridor that connects the areas with the highest economic and logistics activity, especially enhancing the connections of ports and airports .
In this way, COEC wants to contribute to the improvement of European competitiveness through the association's standards.
