ROMANO PRODI
Presidente della Commissione Europea
Bruxelles, 16 giugno 2004

Carissimi,

Thank you, on behalf of myself and the Member of the Commission responsible for External Relations, Chris Patten, for your letter of 11 April 2004, in which you detail the objectives of the Fondazione Laboratorio Mediterraneo.

I note with pleasure the similarity of the FLM’s philosophy to that of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership. At the recent conference in Brussels on dialogue between peoples and cultures, at which we had the opportunity to meet, I stressed during my intervention on “Dialogue and shared values” and reiterate again that all actors are needed in a pluralist approach to dialogue in the Euro-Mediterranean region.

As concerns your offer to host the recently launched Euromed Foundation, you will be aware that the recent Euro-Mediterranean Mid-Term Meeting of Foreign Ministers, held in Dublin on 5 and 6 May, decided to accept the offer of Alexandria to host the Foundation.

The Presidency conclusions of the Dublin meeting also indicated Ministers’ agreement that, in recognition of the offers made by other countries to host the Foundation, it will in its activities with the group of networks be particularly attentive to supporting events in those countries. Ministers also welcomed the readiness of Italy and Malta to provide special assistance to the Foundation during its starting phase.

Given that the FLM has been selected to head the Italian Network, I have no Doubt that you will be called upon to play an important role in supporting the first steps and further development of the Euromed Foundation.

Con molta amicizia,
Romano Prodi
