Issues of migrations are bilaterally and regionally debated as a key element in the framework of Euro-Mediterranean relations. The Communitisation of asylum and immigration issues, and the emergence of the Schengen Space imposed common policies on border controls against illegal immigration. Migration by sea needs cooperation with third countries in order to achieve joint management and control, and tailor-made approaches to each country. As dialogue between cultures urges us to struggle against racism and xenophobia, the request for immigrants' social integration and rights to equal treatment in employment and occupation, we hope this cooperation will be enhanced.
