The Valencia meeting marked a turning-point in the Euro-Mediterranean
Conferences. The Foreign Affairs Ministers established an Action Plan for
strengthening political dialogue, as well as economic, trade, and financial
co-operation. These actions were all aimed at enhancing the social,
cultural, and human dimensions of the Euro-Mediterranean zone. The
Conference concluded that political dialogue should be directed principally
towards the following issues:
· Security and politics
· Strengthening democratic institutions
· Conflict prevention, preventive diplomacy mechanisms, and crisis management
· Regular reports on EU expansion issues and their implications for
Euro-Mediterranean societies
· Effectively combating terrorism
