The Delegate of the Government, Sabrina Moh, has opted to “export” the strengths of our city. “We must be clear about our weaknesses and not lose sight of them, but Melilla has many strengths and benefits and we must export them to the whole world,” he said.
The highest representative of the Government of Spain in our city has closed the days of ‘Industrialized Construction in Melilla: an opportunity for investment’, organized by the CEME CEOE and the delegation of the Official College of Riders and Technical Architects of Malaga.
Moh, has referred to some of the keys that have been addressed in these days as the need to move from a traditional construction to an environmentally sustainable one, the improvement of the quality of buildings or the productivity of the sector, so that it translates into greater viability and better solvency in this area, while generating sustainable employment and improving the quality of life of people.
“Within the Presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU) it is imperative to promote reindustrialization and improve the competitiveness of the European and, therefore, Spanish and Melillense business fabric,” he said. For this reason, he added, “it is key to reduce our vulnerabilities and boost our capabilities.”
The Delegate recalled that an in-depth analysis of the city has been carried out and a reflection has led to the elaboration of the Comprehensive Socio-Economic Development Plan for the city of Melilla by the Government of Spain.
A Plan, where the first of its axes is aimed at improving the new economic model for Melilla, while the second revolves around infrastructures and housing.
Both axes with objectives such as the strengthening of the green and circular economy or the enhancement of the external economic and commercial projection, promotion of urban development and housing or the improvement of the modernization of infrastructures of the city. And all this, he said, “from a sustainable perspective, respectful of the environment and that makes a positive contribution to our city”.
Moh explained that each of these objectives is accompanied by a series of concrete measures closely related to what was addressed at these conferences and that have their backing and budgetary commitment, so he has been optimistic in this regard.
The Delegate, in her speech, highlighted the coordinated work of the administrations for the common good, “which is something essential” and in this sense referred to the collaboration agreement that has been signed between the State and the Autonomous City so that the Technical Office is made available to the Melillense citizens and that all these City projects and proposals can have a guide and direct all those funds that reach the city to continue developing Melilla.
In addition, the head of the Government Delegation referred to another of the issues addressed in the conference, such as the rules of origin applied to products transferred in Melilla, but also the bonus for the transport of goods, “a compensation system that will allow us to reduce the effective cost of transporting goods both by sea and by air between our city and the peninsula and our city and other member states of the EU and signatory states of the agreement on the European economic space”.
Finally, Moh has reiterated the commitment of the Government of Spain as well as the willingness of the Government Delegation to address, jointly, issues of interest to give a viable and solvent response to the concerns, requests and proposals of the business sector.
