The meeting, held in the framework of the regional policy component of the SWITCH-Med Project, in which the CP/RAC has a key role as executing agency, aimed at further elaborating the SCP Road Map for the Mediterranean to be submitted at the end of the year to the Conference of the Parties of the Barcelona Convention.

The MSEG experts presented the state of advancement of their respective tasks, followed by discussions on the content and structure of the SCP Med Road Map.
