A bill becomes a law through a multi-step legislative process. It begins by being introduced in either the House of Representatives or the Senate by a member of Congress. If the bill passes through committee and floor votes in one chamber, it then moves to the other chamber to repeat the process. If the bill is approved by both chambers in identical form, it is sent to the President, who can sign it into law, veto it, or take no action and allow it to become law automatically.

- Compromise is difficult to achieve when there are ideological divides between the two parties and chambers. It takes consensus to enact new laws.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
