The regional convention on pan-Euro-Mediterranean preferential rules of origin promotes the creation of a Euro-Mediterranean free trade area and brings together in a single document the rules of origin for goods under the treaties concluded between the various parties. This important step should be accompanied by, and consolidated with, ambitious plans to improve and promote trade in the region, starting, as soon as possible, with updating pan-Euro-Mediterranean rules of origin, so as to take maximum advantage of the benefits provided by a more favourable political and economic environment in our southern neighbours.
