Ecologists in Action invites the President of the Port Authority, D.

Adrian Angel Viudes, a debate in any regional television to demonstrate the environmental and economic feasibility of the proposed container terminal that his administration intends to install in the Gorguel.

From Ecologists in Action is actually considered lack of information released by the Port Authority of Cartagena on the project.

Information that is not consistent with the continuing claims of the president of this entity on the environmental and economic feasibility of the project.

Ecologists in Action believes that it is responsible for treating state and EU legislation as mere "procedure" because it is not, but it is legislation that ensures the good management of natural resources and environmental protection of ecosystems to ensure conservation of biodiversity.

Also, remind the port authority still has not explained to the citizens and seeks to establish a trading port on an area included in the Natura 2000 network.

On the economic side, the project has no real justification, and so far the only report thereon by the international consulting Hamburg Port Consulting does not include traffic data that Spanish companies could be generated by taking its products in containers from Macropuerto projected.

Moreover, the environmental organization highlights the open disciplinary proceedings to 8 members, with a fine of 480,000 euros, in response to the action / made a symbolic protest outside the building of the Port Authority, with which, Ecologists in Action seeks to defend public over private interests and the only claim that the public really know what are the pros and cons of this project.

From this group an invitation to a public debate is seen as an opportunity for the Port Authority to demonstrate its commitment to ensuring the overall interests of the public and from both parties, in this case faced, put on the table all the information existing.

Ecologists in Action believes that it should stop mixing the growth ambitions of the Port Authority of Cartagena to the regeneration of Portman Bay.

Excuse raised in the last two projects submitted for extension of harbor basins and that the first time on the expansion of the tailings dam, resulted in the withdrawal of European Union funds because of its environmental infeasibility.
