| Please, briefly describe the CBC activity you wanted to pursue | Access to the Atlantic provides an advantage for this region compared to the rest of the European Union. The road network is included in the TEN-T (Trans-European Transport Network) but there is still a need to improve the road network connecting the Sines port to Extremadura. Currently there are improvements being made on the IP8 motorway that will link Sines to Vila Verde de Ficalho and on the roads in the border region between Plasencia and Sines. |
