The Cairo Conference

The 3rd Euro-Mediterranean Ministerial Conference on environment in Cairo on 20 November 2006 was the first Euro-Med environment ministerial held outside the EU. At the meeting agreement was reached on the timetable of actions called for in Barcelona. This timetable will be used to measure progress with Horizon 2020.

The initiative is open to all stakeholders and calls for the mobilisation of the necessary financial resources and the provision of technical support from all partners. All stakeholders are invited to work together to maximise assistance, exploit opportunities and meet the commitments of the timetable.

The European Commission will coordinate the partnership of the Horizon 2020 initiative through the establishment of an efficient institutional steering mechanism to effectively coordinate with other related initiatives, in particular the MAP’s Strategic Action Programme (SAP) to address pollution from land based activities (SAP MED).
