"At long last, the European Parliament realises the importance of territorial and regional cooperation in its priorities for the next neighbourhood policy. The focus of the previous European Neighbourhood Policy was primarily on bilateral ENP action plans mutually agreed by the EU and each partner. We now also need to think about multilateral and local cooperation. We must focus our efforts on the southern component of this policy to provide long-term support for the democratic transition, economic development and regional integration of our southern neighbours. We therefore need to strengthen the cross-border dimension of this neighbourhood policy, as it represents only 5% of the overall budget of the ENPI. This dimension may act as a catalyst for many structural initiatives for cooperation in the Mediterranean. Establishing a genuine EU-Mediterranean partnership means not only taking the aspirations of the peoples into greater account, but also providing real investment in concrete projects. Local and regional cooperation arrangements ‘cemented’ on a daily basis between the North and South will do the same, if not more, for the democratisation of southern countries as major bilateral agreements void of operational variations."@en1
