As can be inferred from various presentations on the zone, concrete interests from major countries are being evaluated, especially from emerging economies.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">At the same time, it is attractive to know that the status of Concessionaire can be granted to foreign persons or entities with foreign residence and capital, and to national persons; and User status may be granted to persons or entities with foreign residence and capital, as well as national entities and national persons resident in Cuba.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">From the standpoint of taxes, the advantages of this zone are truly attractive compared to the rest of the country, and especially when compared with taxes on foreign investment as stipulated by Law 77 (see table).<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The ZEDM can enable Cuba to come closer to a favorable juncture for renewing its development strategy and reconfiguring its international diplomacy. A well-known Cuban economist and intellectual who is currently an official with UNESCO said:<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Cuba seems to be approaching a rare sort of opportunity, of the kind that take more than a century to appear. It is what could be called the Postpanamax era, that is, the eventual transformation that major sections of international trade and the organization of world production would experience with the coming into effect of the new Panama Canal, projected for 2015, with effects that are predicted will be particularly intense in the geographic area close to Cuba.<sup>4<\/sup><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">In this sense, the development of the container terminal at the port of Mariel involves what is probably now one of Cuba\u2019s largest investment projects, and without question, it is framed in a broader context of international reconfiguration. However, clearly it will just be the tip of the iceberg. What is at stake has a far greater reach, because Cuba\u2019s eventual participation in this process would mean being part of a central dynamic of accumulation of contemporary capital, and this is a very important detail that should be taken into account when thinking about Cuba\u2019s future. That is, for the first time in a long time, the country might participate in a central process of world production.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oncubanews.com\/wmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Mariel-carreteras-y-trenes1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20018\" alt=\"Mariel-carreteras-y-trenes\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oncubanews.com\/wmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Mariel-carreteras-y-trenes1.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Mariel-carreteras-y-trenes1.jpg 620w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Mariel-carreteras-y-trenes1-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">And to continue, I would like to paraphrase my colleague Pedro Monreal:<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u2026the new Mariel port zone would not be limited to being, as is usually affirmed, a modern container port over which a special development zone is raised. Things could go much further, because Mariel could be a factor in reducing the cost of global products such as the Iphone; a stable supply of components used by Toyota assembly plants in Alabama, Mississippi, and West Virginia; and the establishment of new distribution centers on the U.S. East Coast, or the efficient operation of a so-called \u201ccircum-equatorial conveyer belt\u201d that would eventually move cargo containers around the world\u2026<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">In a serious analysis of geographical placement and territory size, the Mariel zone\u2014with its deep-water port and the dredging work underway, the mega-port that is being built, and the expansive 465 square-kilometer zone that is 22 km long on its widest side\u2014is more than suitable to eventually be the largest port in the Caribbean, not just in physical size but also in volume of operations. An outstanding role in its dynamic should be played its port container operator, which is one of the largest companies in the world: Singapore\u2019s PSA, which runs container terminals in Panama, Argentina, and 26 other ports in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The Mariel zone should benefit potential production links in Cuba, given that, despite the Cuban economy\u2019s structural and functional problems\u2014whose solution (still in the making) is being worked on based on the principal guide of reform in the \u201cGuidelines\u201d\u2014vaster and more profound economic and social changes are indispensable. And the speed of those changes should accelerate, so that the Cuban population and the world can more clearly appreciate their economic results, and at the same time, that this special development zone is integrated with the rest of Cuba\u2019s business fabric, state-owned or not.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 In an extraordinary edition (No. 26), 23 set. 2013.<\/p>\n<p>2 The title via which a given person is temporarily granted management over a public service, the execution of a public work, or the exploitation of an asset in the public domain.<\/p>\n<p>3 Authorized to conduct productive, commercial, or service activities approved for the ZEDM.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oncubanews.com\/wmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Mariel-21.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20021\" alt=\"Mariel-2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oncubanews.com\/wmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Mariel-21.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Mariel-21.jpg 620w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Mariel-21-300x206.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oncubanews.com\/wmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Mariel-futuro1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20022\" alt=\"Mariel-futuro\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oncubanews.com\/wmag\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Mariel-futuro1.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Mariel-futuro1.jpg 620w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Mariel-futuro1-120x86.jpg 120w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Mariel-futuro1-350x250.jpg 350w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Mariel-futuro1-300x215.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a>Photo: Mariel in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In September of 2013, the Cuban State published Decree-law No. 313 \u201cOn the Mariel Special Development Zone\u201d in the country\u2019s Official Gazette,1 along with its accompanying regulations, Council of Ministers Decree-law No. 316, and the complementary legal provisions.
