Nueva Pescanova just signed accession agreement to this entity, created in September last year and which already consists of some sixty companies with a strong business weight in the community. This was acknowledged by the president of Xunta, Alfonso Rueda, at the end of the act of integration held this morning.

In this sense, he alluded to the recent coastal law approved by the Galician government, which, in addition to the protection of the coastal ecosystem, advocates for “Industries must preserve the environment, but also that they can be established where they want to continue producing wealth». All this, he concluded, “We work with the best allies, which are the companies that are first interested in the fight against climate change».
