The Secretary General of Territorial Coordination, Miryam Álvarez, has participated in the First National Congress of the Port Sector in Valencia and has highlighted the improvements in the organization of sanitary controls at the border promoted by the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory.

Miryam Álvarez has participated in the First National Congress of the Port Sector, which is held in Valencia from March 3 to 5, where he has participated in the round table dedicated to “The role of customs and border control in strategic State facilities”.

During her speech, the Secretary General of Territorial Organization highlighted the work carried out by the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory to improve the service provided to economic operators, especially with organizational improvement measures, such as the creation of the unified border health control agency, operational since 2024, which has allowed to increase the efficiency of health inspection services.

In this regard, he pointed out that the Interministerial Commission for the Official Control of Goods at the Border, established in 2025 on the initiative of the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory, is the appropriate framework to promote this coordination.
