-I would advise making a Multicriteria analysis with all the factors at stake. That no one make their decisions without weighing each and every one of them. And to avoid the 'cortoplazismo', that is to say, only the immediate profitability. It has shown that the policies of "long light", which look beyond the current situation, are more profitable and successful. When a company wants to locate in the environment of a large metropolis like Madrid or Barcelona, it is usually look in a very small radius forgetting something further away locations but which may have excellent communications systems.
-It is a process which has lights and shadows. It is a positive phenomenon because Spain had not developed all its potential in relation to these infrastructures. But I must also point out a negative either that the logistics parks seem to be the panacea for the development of a population or region. In many regions they promise and what is worse, are built logistics parks in its entirety or partially funded public, misplaced and/or without a fairly serious study of profitability. And I am not against that public aid may be used but are they constructed without a favourable Multicriteria analysis and a discernment of management, leading that it should be kept with public funds, which is a clear unfair competition. In addition, but there is also the risk of saturation of supply.
