The Union for the Mediterranean Sea (UfM) Conference of the Union for the Mediterranean Sea concluded yesterday with two political declarations: one between FOM Secretary General Sijilmassi and FAO's General Fisheries Commission and one between the 10 Mediterranean Ministers (Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Mauritania, Tunisia, France, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Spain) to strengthen political commitment on the sustainable development of the Sea's economy through cooperation in the field of maritime safety, marine protected areas, fisheries, tourism, research and innovation. It was a significant step towards a projection of EuroMediterranean Campania.
The President of the Fondazione Mediterraneo recalled the ancient friendship with the Secretary Fatallah Sijilmassi and the anticipation action taken by the "II FORUM CIVILE EUROMED" held in Naples 20 years ago with the support of the Campania Region: already then, the 3,000 delegates from 36 countries present in Naples addressed in a specific working session the same themes with proposals that are still today topical and in most cases advocated.
We hope that this new impetus can lead to the protection of the resource-sea, in a "closed" sea, such as the Mediterranean, which appears increasingly, every day, divided "by us" and not "among us".

(Mena) Rome, Nov. 24. We express our deep solidarity with Egypt for the terrorist attack on the Egyptian mosque in Bir al-Abed, west of the city of Arish, in the North Sinai region, which killed more than 300 people. The battle against terrorism knows no borders and we will never backtrack in the fight against extremism.
Thus, in a note, the "Federazione Anna Lindh Italia Onlus": an association of Italian civil society organisations that today reaches its 1,000 members and that operates as part of the Italian Network of the "Anna Lindh Foundation" sharing its objectives and statutory aims.
"We learned the news when the accession procedures of the 1,000 members were completed. The fight against terrorism is, today more than ever, certainly the main mission of the United Nations, but we must aim for joint work at an international level, involving the cooperation of everyone, especially civil society players who have been engaged for decades in the dialogue between cultures and civilisations. It is essential, in tragic times like these, to clearly separate Islamic culture and religion from the extremism and fundamentalism of these murderers preachers of hatred and to continue to work together with moderate Muslim friends who follow the path of peace and mutual respect ".
