Mediterranean Railway Corridor has more “allies” in Europe than in Spain

<p><span>The so-called Mediterranean Railway Corridor, a long-awaited infrastructure which is set to connect the ports along the Mediterranean coast and through Europe, continues to be one of the Catalan Government priorities for Spanish Government investment. &ldquo;It is a clear demand,&rdquo; said Catalan Minister for Territory and Sustainability, Josep Rull, and called for matching the &ldquo;fantastic ports connection&rdquo; with &ldquo;equally excellent rail infrastructure&rdquo; in order to &ldquo;boost the productivity of the sector&rdquo;. Rull admitted he was surprised that the Mediterranean ports&rsquo; demand to build the Corridor &ldquo;has more allies in northern ports of Europe&rdquo; than &ldquo;within the Spanish State&rdquo;. Rull made these statements during the opening of the European Sea Ports Organization (ESPO) Annual Conference, which took place this Thursday in Barcelona.</span></p> / ACN
