3 In 2007, none of the Mediterranean countries was situated in the area (HDI>0.8 ; EF<1.8) referred to “sustainable development area”
4 In 2009, the average income per inhabitant in the South and East Mediterranean countries (about 8000 dollars) was 3.5 times lower than the average income in the 7 EU-27 Mediterranean countries.
5 All the Mediterranean countries (except Montenegro) had an Ecological Deficit in 2007. This means that the environmental capacity of the region is used up more quickly than it is renewed. 2.5 Mediterranean region versus 1.5 planet Source : Global Footprint Network 2010.

6 Access to an improved water source and improved sanitation system About 23 million people in the Mediterranean countries who generally live in rural areas did not have access to drinking water in 2008. In the Mediterranean, about 27 million people do not have access to an adequate sanitation system.
7 Energy intensity The energy intensity is slowly increasing in the Mediterranean: the trends observed will not permit to reach the objective of 1 to 2% improvement per year.
8 Share of renewable energies in energy balance and GHG emissions The share of RE in the primary commercial energy balances is not increasing enough. A significant break from the present trends will be necessary to reach the 7% objective by 2015. CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion are still increasing in most Mediterranean countries.
9 International tourism receipts Between 1995 and 2008 most of the Mediterranean countries experienced an overall increase in international tourism receipts; followed by a decline in 2009, but compared to GDP the situations are varied.
