Description
Today, Ministers from EU Member States and Southern Mediterranean partner countries gathered in Barcelona to jointly launch the Pact for the Mediterranean: an historic moment for the EU's deeper cooperation with Mediterranean countries. The launch took place on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Barcelona Process, a partnership that promotes cooperation and stability between the EU and Mediterranean countries, through shared initiatives. This is another major step toward a more stable, secure and prosperous Common Mediterranean Space.
