"This report concerns the evolution of EU macro-regional strategies, in particular in the Mediterranean, advocating a macro-regional approach which would enable an overall project to be set out in this area vital to the EU’s future, with a view to emerging from the present crisis and responding to the expectations of all its neighbours, particularly those in the southern Mediterranean. In my opinion, this approach makes perfect sense, since the Mediterranean is a coherent whole, constituting a single cultural and environmental area, and sharing several common characteristics and priorities: the same crops, abundant renewable energy sources, particularly solar energy, the importance of tourism, the same natural disaster risks, including fires, floods, earthquakes and water shortages, and risks from human activity, in particular, maritime pollution. A development dynamic based around the Mediterranean could drive forward the whole European economy, a powerful incentive to develop new and active neighbourhood policies, as the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ has highlighted the strategic potential of the geographic, political and economic links between the two sides of the Mediterranean."@en1
