Territorial assets of the North-South Vision • 1- A deeper Euro mediterranean integration, despite being asymmetrical (2010 free trade zone) • 2- Mediterranean European territories will boost their development • 3- Europe improves catching up with Asian and American counterparts (although not on the high-tech base of the Lisbon strategy)

  13. Shortcomings of the North-South Vision • 1- The relocation of the environmental burden on the southern shore of the Mediterranean is not sustainable • 2- No de-pollution of the Mediterranean • 3- No change in the migration mix: mainly low educated migrants toward Mediterranean Europe • 4- Southern brain drain is not stopped • 5- North Africa as gatekeeper against sub-Saharan African migrants
