I welcome the conclusion of the regional convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin. Favourable conditions will thus be created for the development of trade as well as regional and economic integration.
I believe that this convention will be a solid foundation for establishing the Euro-Mediterranean free trade area. In addition, it will boost trade and economic growth between the southern countries, and will contribute to reducing poverty and to creating new jobs.
