The Med-Pact Programme
The ARCHIMEDES project is co-financed by the European Commission within the MED-PACT programme. This programme is dedicated to the cooperation among local authorites in the Southern and Northern sides of the Mediterranean Sea.
The MED-PACT programme falls within the framework of the Barcelona Process which aims at promoting prosperity, democracy, stability and security in the Mediterranean basin.
The Euro-Med Partnership Regional Strategy Paper 2002-2006 recognized the necessity to cooperate at civil society level in order to implement the third chapter of Barcelona Process (entitled "Partnership in social, cultural and human affairs") and to develop "understanding between people, despite political ups-and-downs".
The MED-PACT programme has been strongly demanded by Euro-Mediterranean local authorities to the European Commission. It has been approved after :
1. the good results of the experimental pilot project MED'ACT co-financed by the European Commission, that involved four of the seven Archimedes project partners (Venice, Bordeaux, Genoa and El Mina)
2. the Conclusions of the Euro-Mediterranean Conference of Ministers in Naples, December 2003. With consideration for the requests of the Committee of Regions and of 97 Euro-Mediterranean Mayors that signed a common declaration addressed to the European Union Institutions, they gave mandate to the European Commission to approve a programme dedicated to the cooperation among local authorities in the Mediterranean area.
