On 15 May, 2008 the Socialist Group in the European Parliament, PSE, has published its report on the future of the EU-Mediterranean partnership, which was launched in 1995 with the Declaration of Barcelona, constituting an ambitious project for the development of the region, announced in the context of the Oslo Agreements concluded 1993 between Palestinians and Israelis. More than 10 years on, the record of the cooperation remains mitigated, while the Israeli-Palestinian conflict worryingly more and more bogged down. In this context, the PSE proposes a new approach as a preceding condition for every initiative of re-launch aimed at the EU-Mediterranean cooperation.
