How can the EU better engage with the Mediterranean? Which cooperation priorities should the New Pact for the Mediterranean feature? Have your say on the future of Euro-Mediterranean relations by participating in a regional consultation.
The European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) has launched a regional consultation on the New Pact for the Mediterranean.
This open region-wide survey, co-funded by the European Commission, is part of the larger consultations envisaged by the European Union with a diverse array of stakeholders ahead of the publication of the New Pact for the Mediterranean, the main political instrument that the European Commission aims to establish to deepen strategic cooperation with its southern and eastern Mediterranean neighbors.
This exercise aims to identify the key policy priorities across the region to align mutual interests, as well as the key channels and instruments to put in place in the upcoming years.
In order to accurately reflect priorities and viewpoints in the respective national contexts, the survey targets respondents from the EU and the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries, including policymakers, experts, civil society representatives and the private sector.
As Interreg NEXT MED Programme, we invite all interested stakeholders to participate in this survey which is open until the 30th of March 2025.
The survey is available in Arabic, English and French at the following link: https://www.iemed.org/euromedsurvey2025

Context
Following the European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen’s call for a more focused approach to the EU’s wider neighbourhood, especially to the Mediterranean, the European Commission has set up a new Directorate-General for the Middle East, North Africa and the Gulf (DG MENA) under the leadership of Commissioner Dubravka Šuica, that will have to drive and shape the goals of the future EU-Mediterranean policy. For that, the EU and the partner countries of the Southern Neighbourhood will jointly develop a New Pact for the Mediterranean, aiming to create a comprehensive framework that addresses the complex issues affecting the region on concerted priority areas.
