"Macro-regions meet the criteria of simplification and coordination which have always inspired the EU’s regional policy. United by their geographical proximity, Member States, regions and local bodies see macro-regions as the ideal institutional framework in which they can interact to solve their common problems and implement shared policies. Operators in the Mediterranean basin deserve to be given a similar opportunity, given that the area is obviously important for tourism, trade and the economy. Unfortunately, within the EU, the Mediterranean area is not structured effectively enough, with the result that its performance in terms of cooperation and interconnection is very poor. Subdividing the Mediterranean into three large macro-regions (western, Adriatic-Ionian and eastern) would not only make our Mediterranean policies more consistent and operational, but would also encourage greater coordination between the various intervention instruments available to the EU. Establishing a Mediterranean macro-region would therefore be an opportunity for the entire Mediterranean area to adopt coordinated policies aimed at development and growth. It would be a mistake for the European Union not to grant that."@en1
