The
role of infrastructures in determining regional development is all
too well known. Consequently the policy in this sphere takes on
a starring role in the development plans for our region.
|
Infrastructures
are part of the group of economic resources that are of a markedly
public nature that normally are not supplied by the market and that,
if they were, would not be endowed with enough resources.
|
|
|
|
||
|
Thus
the providing of these public goods stay mainly in the hands of
the public power decision makers and constitute an important instrument
of regional economic policy.
|
||
|

|
In
previous years, public administrations in the BCAC carried out a
broad programme of investments in infrastructure. These programmes
are currently in effect and affect not only land communication but
also the rest of the communications that facilitate access and interchange
for the different sectors of economic activity and their zones of
influence. |
So
land communication infrastructure constitutes an exclusive task
of public action and makes it play a relevant role in regional devel-opment.
In fact, the road system directly contributes to the relative improvement
of the advantages of geographic situation, agglomeration and sectorial
structure. It moreover conditions the potential growth of the economy
and its development with a clear incidence on the localisation of
industry.
|
|
|
|
||
|
The
possibilities of the BCAC are strongly conditioned by its economic
surroundings. Therefore, and with an aim to reducing the limitations
imposed by its geographic condition of being an almost peripheral
region, priority must be given to eliminating the obsta-cles for
accessing economic activity zones.
|
||
|
|
||
|
With
reference to the seaport infrastructure, it must be said that the
BCAC's strategic position in the European context is the main ele-ment
for defining the possibilities of integration in the network of
infrastructures destined to maritime traffic to improve the condi-tions
of competitiveness of the economy due to interchange of freight.
|
The
intervention strategy for integrating the port system lies in fo-menting
the specialisation of the ports in the functions for which they
are best suited. This avoids internal competition, which does nothing
for the overall system for securing a hinterland or area of influence.
