Next May 7th 2010 the Ignasi Villalonga Institute of Economy and Enterprises will hold the “Ceremony for a European Recognition of the Mediterranean Arch”, an event by which they want to rise awareness between the European Commission on a greater consideration of the Mediterranean area when establishing which projects will be financed for improving transport infrastructures in Europe.

The Institute has managed to place the EURAM White Book on Infrastructures as a document to be considered for the Green Paper that European institutions will use for rethinking the European transports network. Furthermore, the European Union has accepted to study with more detail the economic and social potential of the Mediterranean Area.

The event is another opportunity for convincing the European institutions on the great qualitative value that the Mediterranean Area might represent for all Europe.
