The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership Barcelona Process


The Euro-Mediterranean Conference of Ministers of Foreign Affairs, held in Barcelona on 27th-28th November 1995, marked the starting point of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (Barcelona Process), a wide framework of political, economic and social relations between the Member States of the European Union and the Southern Mediterranean Partners.

The EU enlargement on 1st May 2004 has brought two Mediterranean Partners (Cyprus and Malta) into the European Union. The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership comprises now 37 members, 27 EU Member States and 10 Mediterranean Partners (Algeria,
Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestinian Authority, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey). Libya has observer status since 1999.

In the Barcelona Declaration, the Euro-Mediterranean partners established three main objectives of the Partnership:
1. The definition of a common area of peace and stability through the reinforcement of political and security dialogue (Political and Security Chapter).
2. The construction of a zone of shared prosperity through an economic and financial partnership and the gradual establishment of a freetrade area (Economic and Financial Chapter).
3. The rapprochement between peoples through a social, cultural and human partnership aimed at encouraging understanding between cultures and exchanges between civil societies (Social, Cultural and Human Chapter).
The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership comprises two complementary dimensions, bilateral and regional, and counts on the MEDA Programme as the main financial instrument.
