Highlighting the convergence between Europe and the South Mediterranean countries

Highlighting the convergence between Europe and the South Mediterranean countries
10/16/2012 - Nathalie Bureau du Colombier | Socio-economic assessments
Fifteen years after the Barcelona Process, the expected payoffs between Europe and the South Mediterranean countries have not materialized. What is the challenge posed to the European Union by the South Mediterranean countries? It is to resolve the lack of convergence of these regions. According to Ahmed Galal, president of FEMISE, Europe must find a new mode of cooperation and support. The free trade agreements must be far-reaching and more careful attention must be given to the free movement of workers.
