During a cordial meeting at the Palace of Carthage, the President of the European Commission, Jeam-Claude Juncker, met the President of Tunisia Caid Essebsi.
In this meeting, President Juncker announced that the Commission had withdrawn Tunisia from the "black lists" of third countries for funding terrorist groups.
On this occasion, it confirmed the granting of a loan to Tunisia by the EU for 270 million euro to strengthen the strategic partnership.
President Capasso, present in Tunis, welcomed this further step towards a closer structuring of relations between Tunisia and the EU, recalling the proposal of the Fondazione Mediterraneo, since 1997, to associate countries such as Tunisia and Morocco with EU to strengthen peace and cooperation.
