Abstract: This paper covers the developments, initiatives and evolution of institutions in the EU-Mediterranean relationship, focuses on the objectives of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, the European Neighbourhood Policy and the Union for the Mediterranean. The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, based on three different fields of action -politics and security, economy and finance, society and culture, has constituted the central framework of relations between the EU and its Southern Mediterranean partners, since 1995. The two different policy frameworks to deal with the Mediterranean -the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, a region-building approach and the European Neighbourhood Policy, a bilateral approach, were complemented with the Union for the Mediterranean, a new framework aimed to upgrade the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership. The paper analyzes, also, the role of Spain in the developments of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, and presents short observations of the first EU-Morocco Summit.
