1. Reinforce the steering role and ensure a more formal and

sustainable relation with European Neighbourhood Instrument South Partner Countries NPI SPC and EU Member States;

4. Continuity of the action is essential; for example on MPPs it would be important to capitalise on the outcomes of EUROMED Migration III in countries such as Algeria, Jordan, Palestine and Tunisia.

5. Cooperation and Coordination among different stakeholders and initiatives focusing on migration in the region still represents a challenge.

6. Balanced communication on migration is needed, to foster the positive impact that migrants can have on growth in countries of origin and destination.
