    Un développement durable pour la Méditerranée
    in Revue de l'Union européenne/Revue du Marché Commun et de l'Union européenne , n. 528, mai ,  2009 ,  294-300
    The Mediterranean is concerned by a few serious issues, such as environment degradation, problems related to sea pollution, water, agriculture and energy, which are discussed in various instances. The institutional construction of the Union for the Mediterranean (UFM) still remains incomplete, as the head office has not been designated yet, and the secretariat does not work. This construction has also been delayed by the burst of the conflict between Israel and Palestine, and the Gaza conflict. Still, several projects are in progress and many propositions are discussed within the partnerships around the Mediterranean. Financings are possible through certain credit institutions. Regional and local authorities, especially in urban, maritime and some rural areas, are involved in the construction of new infrastructures and the promotion of renewable energies. They realize the gravity of not answering immediately to emergencies such as the lack of water, of cleansing and of other infrastructures. As we can observe through the projects mentioned in this article, if as far as politics is concerned,the UFM has undergone a reduction of activities, the cooperation between the various countries is maintained and becomes stronger through the carrying-out of actions and the working-out of propositions which have a common interest.
