Yesterday the Senate of Mexico has approved of unanimously decrees of reform and of addition of various dispositions to the law on the ports, in matter of acknowledgment of the relationship city-port, based on which the Administraciones Portuarias Integrales (BEES), the agencies that administer the national ports, will have to pour 30% of their surplus of entrances currents to the municipal administrations.
Thanking colleagues that has supported the necessity of this reform, Senator Gabriela Benavides Cobos, promotrice of initiative, has emphasized that new norm "will assure good quality of life to people that lives in city harbour, that they live - has specified - in those which we know to be serious problems, as the traffic, the risk to be victims of one of the many incidents caused from the trucks, problems as those of the city infrastructures that constantly endure damages for the weight of the container, as a reduced quality of the life caused from the harbour works and marine that, among other things produces to environmental alterations and the loss of you space tourist, familiar and recreational".
"We assist - it has continued the Senator - to a accelerated increase of the ports, while the cities that accommodates them are behind schedule. It seems that the importance of the relation port-city is forgotten. We currently realize that the ports generate occupation and produce wealth for the economy, but the profits and the taxes generated from the ports are not invested in reimbursing the damages that they cause to the cities or to the municipalities in which they are found. This does not happen because of the lack of will by the Administraciones Portuarias Integrales, but because the law does not allow it, because the law does not recognize the importance of the relation city-port".
The Senator has evidenced that the reform does not place in danger the budgets of the harbour administrations, as is taken part alone on the surplus that the BEES pour annually to the fund for the potenziamento of harbour infrastructures called FIPORT (Deep adorn el Fortalecimiento to the Harbour Infraestructura).
