Parliamentary Assembly of the Union for the Mediterranean (PA-UfM)
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Union for the Mediterranean (PA-UfM) is a meeting place for parliamentarians from the EU member states and the Mediterranean countries. The objective of the Assembly is to create a common area around the Mediterranean where there is peace and stability, shared prosperity and strengthened cooperation in social and cultural issues, based on fundamental principles such as respect for human rights and democracy.
The Swedish Parliament is a member of the PA-Ufm, but will not be nominating a delegation during the current term of office and will therefore not be participating in the work of the PA-UfM.
The PA-UfM has 280 members from the EU member states and the European Parliament as well as the partner countries Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey and the Palestinian Authority. Since 2009, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Monaco, Montenegro, Albania and Mauritania have also participated.
