MENA POWER 2010
Within the framework of SIL2010 and with the collaboration of the Association of Mediterranean Chambers of Commerce and Industry (ASCAME), the Consorci de la Zona Franca and Barcelona’s Chamber of Commerce are organising the 8th MEDITERRANEAN LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORT FORUM. The 2010 edition of MEDA – Logistics & Transport Forum will approach issues related to the new boost given to the Euro-Mediterranean association and its integration through Union for the Mediterranean and the importance of the transport and logistics sector as economic pillars and determining factors for the integration into a single united Mediterranean market. An analysis will be made of the different results arising from the implementation of different European projects for the development of the Mediterranean logistics area and the status of the port infrastructures. The new infrastructures plans, situation and the financial mechanisms for Union for the Mediterranean will constitute the focus of debate during the opening session of the 8th Mediterranean Transport and Logistics Forum. At this moment in time, promoting the Mediterranean Sea as the epicentre of the world can provide a decisive cooperation model within the current global economic situation. Sectors

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.
