European Neighbourhood Policy The Barcelona Process (1995) with the Mediterranean Partner Countries (MPCs) (MEDA) The Association Agreements (Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan…) The European Research Area (ERA).

•Promote, organise and contribute to the participation of third countries in the activities of FP7. • Promote regional integration and will lead to the identification and the prioritisation of common research areas of mutual interest and benefit. • Facilitate the uptake and use of common identified research areas and the monitoring of performance and impacts of international S&T cooperation across the Specific Programmes of FP7. INCO-Net objectives
The identification of the common interests EU-MPC should be the first step in any political and scientific dialogue on international cooperation. Topics such as desalinisation, illegal and legal (mobility) immigration, energy, desertification, decontamination of the Mediterranean and others, will promote higher interest and will be the lever to raise the concerns of the policy makers from different levels of the administrations in each country.
