Slide1: 

“Strengthening Regions Objective 1 Competencies in the Cooperation Sector in the Cultural Area” Cohesion and Strengthening of the Relationship between Regions Objective 1 Administrative Systems and Mediterranean Countries

Context: 

Context The new EU proximity policy confirms and consolidates the strategic importance of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership which was one of the topics included in the 1995 Barcelona declaration. From the point of view of EU enlargement, the archaeological sites represent a valuable heritage: the Greek and Roman theatres which are scattered along the Mediterranean coasts, will certainly grow in importance in terms of eco-sustainable cultural tourism and become a source of wealth for the host territories. The interest in this development line which is shared by all Mediterranean countries, is witnessed by a number of documents on cooperation: the Barcelona declaration (1995), the Segesta declaration (1995), the Chart of Mediterranean Tourism (Casablanca, 1995); the Siracusa Chart (2005).
