Regional Integration in the Union for the Mediterranean
Progress Report
Regional Integration in the Union for the Mediterranean: Progress Report monitors
major trends and evolutions of integration in the Euro-Mediterranean region. The Report
examines five domains of regional integration, namely trade integration, financial
integration, infrastructure integration, movement of people, as well as research and
higher education. It presents an original analysis of the patterns and challenges
of integration in the Euro-Mediterranean region, which highlights the interdependence
of the areas examined – e.g. how to increase regional trade without affordable transport
connectivity? The Report offers new insights, based on specific quantitative and qualitative
performance indicators that are monitored over time. Almost 100 graphs and tables
in the report cover data for the 42 member countries of the Union for the Mediterranean
and, when relevant, for partners of the region. The Report includes key takeaways
and policy recommendations on how to foster regional integration in each of the five
domains.
