"In the spirit of the Barcelona Process, this agreement is speeding up the creation of a Euro-Mediterranean free trade area. The first step towards achieving this target was the association agreements between the EU and its Mediterranean partners. The new agreement on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin unites the different rules on the origin of goods that are traded within the framework of the relevant trade agreements concluded between the following states: the EU and the countries participating in the Barcelona Process (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey and the Palestinian Authority), the EFTA countries (Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein), the Faroe Islands and the countries participating in the stabilisation and association process (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia, as well as Kosovo, under UN Security Council Resolution 1244/99). The adoption of a single simplified instrument will facilitate a pan-Euro-Mediterranean cumulation of origin. Last but not least, I believe it is also worth mentioning that following this significant step, other ambitious plans for enhancing and promoting trade in the region should follow, beginning, as soon as possible, with the updating of pan-Euro-Mediterranean rules of origin.
The new democratic movements in the Mediterranean area should be an opportunity for Europe’s leaders not only to improve the human and social rights of their citizens, but also to make the most of the advantages offered by the friendlier political and economic environment in our southern neighbourhood."@en1
