Euro-Mediterranean Partnership Celebrates 10th Anniversary
2004-11-28
The Euro-Mediterranean Ministers of Foreign Affairs will meet in The Hague on 29 November and 30 November to launch a year of activities commemorating the tenth anniversary of the Barcelona Process. The Euro-Mediterranean Conference, held in Barcelona from 27 November to 28 November 1995, marked the starting point of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (Barcelona Process), a framework of political, economic and social relations between the EU and Mediterranean partners -- Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, the Palestinian Authority, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey, plus Libya as an observer.
In 2004 the Barcelona Process made significant progress in the areas of trade, industry, energy and transport. The Agadir Agreement on free trade between Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, and Jordan, supported by a 4m-euro EU regional programme, was signed last February. (Europaworld)
