Abstract

REPORT FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN
PARLIAMENT

Put briefly, we agreed to tighten the focus of our actions on the priority objectives through the establishment of short and medium term goals. These include: accelerating the Association Agreement process; encouraging South-South trade and cooperation including on a subregional basis; introducing cumulation of origin; making the link between MEDA funding and the Association process more explicit; improving the delivery of MEDA through reforms involving the Commission, the Council and the Mediterranean partners in a more strategic approach; co-operating on human rights and democracy; introducing regional cooperation on the critical issues relating to justice and home affairs and raising the visibility of the process.
