Los puertos gallegos y Cylog cooperan en el marco de la RESOEThe port Galician system, integrating the 122 ports of regional ownership and the six port authorities, and the logistics network of Castilla León, Cylog, will establish integrated policies of cooperation and joint work within the framework of the 'Macrorrexión' of European southwest regionsRESOE. The proposal is also open to the integration of port structures of the North of Portugal in the project. Thus it was defined in the recent preliminary meeting of the Working Group on transport and logistics of the Macrorrexión RESOE, held in Ponferrada and which was attended, on behalf of the autonomic Government, the President of Portos de Galicia, José Manuel Álvarez-Campana, and the director-general for mobility, Miguel Rodríguez Bugarín.
At the meeting of Ponferrada, which was convened to advance in the definition of the content of the projects that will drive within the megalopolis that integrate Galicia, Castilla y León and the North of Portugal, were established, also, other two big lines of work. Firstly, strengthen rural public transport map, improving the internal recipient territory mobility. In addition, is will give impetus to the railway, as a sustainable means of transport of people and goods, which will be key, also, in the connection between the Galician ports and logistics network of Castile and León, Spain.
The recent preparatory meeting also served to lay the foundations of organizational aspects. Thus, it was agreed that the formal representation of each region will be composed of two members of the Administration; two of the business sector; and making two of the field of research and knowledge, visible is thus the cross-cutting nature of this interregional cooperation strategy.
We need to remember that the RESOE Macrorrexión was created by Galicia, Castilla y León and the region North of Portugal through the signing of a memory on 17 September in Valladolid, with the purpose of carrying out joint projects and promote the coordination of the work in the six defined areas: Economy and industry; Education, universities and research; World of work; Environment; Culture and tourism, and transport and logistics. This is a figure relatively novidosa in the whole of the European Union, with the model of the EU Baltic Sea strategy and the most recent strategy for the Danube.
