Mediterranean Islands in the European Union
Dialogues to explore a special status and recognition for EU Mediterranean islands
The Darder-Mascaró Foundation and the Coppieters Foundation promote a series of dialogues in and around the Balearic Islands and other insular and Mediterranean territories of the European Union that have their own specificities derived from their challenges as islands, archipelagos or placement in the western Mediterranean basin. We recall that the promotion and recognition of the Mediterranean insularity within the European Union is one of the objectives set by the opinion issued by the European Committee of the Regions last October 2020.
