"Looking at the Baltic Sea and Danube examples, it seems clear that macro-regional strategies, new forms of territorial cooperation, have contributed to improving the effectiveness of the EU’s regional development policies and to enhancing synergies between regions and Member States. The EU must urgently offer such prospects for the Mediterranean, an area vital to Europe’s future. The implementation of a macro-regional strategy for the Mediterranean basin would enable us to offer common prospects for addressing the challenges facing the Mediterranean countries and to give structure to this key area for Europe’s development and integration. After the failure of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM), it is high time we sent a message of hope to the Mediterranean area as a whole, which is currently feeling the effects of the crisis, but which is also being turned upside down as a result of the successive revolutions on the southern shore of the Mediterranean. Given that Parliament has strongly expressed its support for this initiative in the Mediterranean and intends to make it a political priority, it is now up to the Commission to lend its support and it is up to Cyprus to take advantage of its Presidency to make progress in this area and to lay the foundations for this strategy."@en1
