24.10.2012: SPOTLIGHT ON THE MEDITERRANEAN AREA. Uniting our efforts for the future

The Cyprus Presidency of the EU Council will highlight Mediterranean cooperation as an instrument to ensure peace, stability and growth in this region. The Secretariat of the Union for the Mediterranean will be represented by Deputy Secretary General, Amb. Sotiris Varouxakis, who will participate at the panel discussion “Spotlight on the Mediterranean area: Trends, challenges, perspectives”.

Together with the European Territorial Cooperation Programme, MED and the Neighbourhood Cross-border Cooperation Programme in the Mediterranean Sea Basin ENPI CBC MED, the Cyprus Presidency organises its first joint conference of these two cooperation programmes to be held in Cyprus, on 24 and 25 October 2012.  This is the first time that these two programmes jointly organise a conference and the initiative is of particular significance in the context of preparing future programmes as it marks a further step in their policy and institutional relations towards a better coordination of European policies destined for the Mediterranean area.
