Abstract

The concept of a quite homogeneous Europe has been changing with the enlargement and the Euromed partnership. An assessment of the international integration of Mediterranean Partner Countries (MPCs) shows that these countries experience weak convergence relative to new EU members. Krugman and Finger-Kreinin indices underline the fact that, with the exception of Turkey, MPCs have complementary trade structures relative to the EU and remain much specialised in labour and resource-intensive industries. Inefficient structural reforms, the lack of South-South integration and inherent shortcomings of the agreement limit the attractiveness of these countries to foreign investors, though they could contribute to their catching-up and the upgrading of their trade specialisation.
