"Like the macro-regional strategies for other geographical areas of Europe, such as the Danube basin and the Baltic Sea, macro-regional strategies are now being put forward for the Mediterranean or, more specifically, for the area of the Adriatic and Ionian. The experience with implementing the Baltic macro-region demonstrates that this is a good initiative which enhances development for the peoples of these regions. EU economic policy is based on regional cooperation. Therefore, especially in the wake of the so-called ‘Arab Spring’, it is clearly of interest to maintain good relations with the peoples of the southern Mediterranean, and to enhance the development of trade and tourism by utilising existing resources, in particular, maritime traffic and sustainable energies. Moreover, it is an excellent opportunity to promote interregional cohesion and strengthen relations between peoples. I voted for Mr Alfonsi’s report on EU macro-regional strategies for the Mediterranean and I hope that, with the support of the next multiannual financial framework, the EU will continue to collaborate in democratisation processes in the African countries of the Mediterranean basin, so as to achieve greater stability and economic growth in the region."@en1
