A delegation of MEPs from the European Parliament’s Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) traveled to Aragon from February 24 to 27 to meet with national, regional and local authorities, as well as with various representatives of the transport sector and civil society in order to assess the region’s potential as a logistics hub in southern Europe.
The managing director of the Trans-Pyrenees Foundation participated in the visits of the delegation to Zaragoza and Canfranc. In this context, the impact of the European Transport Networks in Aragon was analyzed, particularly in the context of cross-border connections. In this scenario, the Government of Aragon urged the promotion of the Central Pyrenean Crossing (TCP) as a strategic railway corridor that would reinforce the logistic development of the continent and its defensive system, as well as the need to reestablish the traffic of the International Railway Line Zaragoza-Canfranc-Pau and the Cantabrian-Mediterranean Corridor.
