Conference "The European Union and the Arab revolt : what role(s)? what impact (s)?"

Workshop / Conference

France, Paris,
From 04-28-2011 to 04-28-2011

States of South shore of the Mediterranean, governed since independence by authoritarian regimes, are traversed by a wave of protest. European states are trying to take a common response to this new situation.

How the EU tries to manage this unprecedented situation? How to prevent Member States from separating once again, as they have vital interests in the region? Is the "Arab revolt" sound the death knell for the Union for the Mediterranean? And especially, what is expected from the European Union on the South shore of the Mediterranean? What role for Turkey? Is this country can become a role model for young democratic states in the region?

Practical details

Targets & objectives
The Invest in Med programme aims at developing sustainable trade relationships, investments and enterprise partnerships between the two rims of the Mediterranean. Funded at 75% by the European Union over the 2008-2011 period, it is implemented by the MedAlliance consortium, which associates economic development organisations (ANIMA, leader of the programme), CCIs (ASCAME, EUROCHAMBRES), and business federations (BUSINESSMED). The members of these networks, as well as their special partners (UNIDO, GTZ, EPA Euroméditerranée, World Bank, etc.), gather a thousand of economic actors - mobilised through pilot initiatives centered on key Mediterranean promising niches. Each year, a hundred operations associate the 27 countries of the European Union and 9 Mediterranean partner countries: Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestinian Authority, Syria and Tunisia. www.invest-in-med.eu
