Marrakech Euro-Med. Gulf Forum: Participants Stress Need to Ensure More Effective Economic Integration, Resilience

Marrakech – Participants in the first edition (constitutive session) of the Parliamentary Economic Forum for the Euro-Mediterranean and Gulf regions stressed, on Thursday at the end of their work in Marrakech, the need to ensure a more effective economic integration and resilience to external factors through a deeper South-South and North-South economic integration.

They reaffirmed, in their recommendations, the importance, through the active participation of parliamentarians, of a paradigm shift to address the major socio-economic and climatic challenges affecting the Euro-Mediterranean and Gulf regions, calling on all member states of the Parliamentary Assembly for the Mediterranean (PAM) to strengthen their trade and financial relations, refrain from imposing customs duties, quotas and other measures that may hinder the process of economic integration of the two regions, in cooperation with the competent European and Arab institutions.

In this regard, they welcomed the results of the 12th Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization and the “Geneva Package”, as well as the agreement negotiated by the United Nations and the Black Sea Initiative to mitigate the effects of the current global food crisis.

In addition, participants noted with satisfaction the results of the 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
