INTEGRATED SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE 2

 PROJECT  DESCRIPTION      The  Integrated  Special  Economic  Zone  is  a  space  designed  to  host  economic  activities  and  provide  businesses  with  the  appropriate  infrastructure  and  services  they  require  to  operate  in  the  best  conditions.    The   businesses   established   within   the   Zone   will   benefit   from   an   incentive-­‐‑driven   tax  framework  defined  by  law  and  procedures  facilitating  their  operation.    The  project  goes  beyond  the  Free  Industrial  Zone  concept;  it  will  include  an  industrial  park,  service   spaces,   offices   and   a   logistics   platform.   There   are   plans   to   later   incorporate   a  commercial  area,  tourist  complexes  and  residential  areas.      The  High  Authority  responsible  for  the  administration  of  the  Zone  will,   through  the  One-­‐‑Stop-­‐‑Shop,  provide  businesses  with  collective  (telecommunications,  electricity,  water,  waste  management,  etc.)    administrative    (certification,  permits  and  licences,  authorisations,  banks  and  financial  services)  and  logistics  (transportation,  storage)  services  in  compliance  with  the  best  international  standards.    The   Zone   will   be   integrated   into   its   human   environment.   Current   and   projected    developments  do  not  anticipate  the  displacement  of  populations  and  will  be  implemented  in  harmony  with  the  needs  of  the  populations  living  on  the  site.
