Rule 144
Thomas Bajada (S&D)

The recently announced New Pact for the Mediterranean, expected later this year, envisages building comprehensive partnerships focused on areas of mutual interest. New instruments would also require new financial backing.

In this regard, can the Commission clarify:

• 1.what the expected cost of the New Pact for the Mediterranean will be;
• 2.whether there will be new funding instruments to support its efficient and effective implementation;
• 3.whether there will be a prioritisation of funding, such as, but not limited to, enhancing areas of mutual interest that bring our southern neighbours closer to the EU at the diplomatic level?
