TunisiaSouthern Neighbourhood: EU proposes new Agenda for the Mediterranean
To relaunch and strengthen the strategic partnership between the European Union and its Southern Neighbourhood partners, the European Commission and the High Representative yesterday adopted a joint communication proposing an ambitious and innovative new Agenda for the Mediterranean.
The new Agenda is based on the conviction that by working together and in a spirit of partnership, common challenges can be turned into opportunities, in the mutual interest of the EU and its Southern neighbours.
It includes a dedicated Economic and Investment Plan to spur the long-term socio-economic recovery in the Southern Neighbourhood. Under the new EU’s Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI), up to €7 billion for the period 2021-2027 would be allocated to its implementation, which could mobilise up to €30 billion in private and public investment in the region in the next decade.
The new agenda focuses on five policy areas: Human development, good governance and the rule of law; Resilience, prosperity and digital transition; Peace and security; Migration and mobility; Green transition: Climate resilience, energy, and environment.
