On the other side: the new EU local and regional strategy in the Mediterranean (DIEEEO18-2017)

The European Union has opened up several fronts in the Mediterranean with the aim of guaranteeing security in the area. With this purpose, it will be use several instruments available to it at sub-national level such as regional and local. The objective is to approach more influential forums in cases such as Libya, a failed State and epicenter of the conflict, avoiding their lethal influence being spread over its borders. These instruments are: The Euro-Mediterranean Regional and Local Assembly - within the Committee of the regions. The cross-border cooperation program ENI CBC Mediterranean Sea Basin (European Neighbourhood Instrument) and the new West-Med strategy, which rises between countries on either shore through the typical structure of the "5+5". Finally, the most importante regional lobby in Europe, the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPMR), will build a bridge between countries and Governments for practical assistance and dialogue.
