According to Politico, the European Union announced on Thursday an unprecedented expansion of its Erasmus program to students from southern Mediterranean countries —notably North Africa and the Middle East — as part of an ambitious “Mediterranean Pact”. The objective: to strengthen the European presence in this strategic area while “connecting young people” through a system called “Mediterranean University”.
This pact, presented by Ursula von der Leyen and Kaja Kallas, has three components — “people, the economy, and the link between security, preparation and migration”. The Commission plans to double the regional budget to 42 billion euros, while supporting “more than 100 projects”, including 5G infrastructure, roads and “maritime and underwater links carrying data between our nations”.
Commissioner Dubravka Šuica clarified: “We will expand Erasmus Plus and Horizon Europe, and facilitate the issuance of visas, particularly for students from Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt.”
On the migration side, Šuica spoke of the “biggest shared challenge”, promising to help “prevent illegal departures and fight against smugglers”, while opening “legal avenues to meet the needs of labor of Europe”.
Von der Leyen finally summarized the philosophy of the pact: “Europe and the Mediterranean cannot exist without each other.”
