The project of a Mediterranean Union suggested by French President Nicolas Sarkozy in late October last year has certainly caused a stir, but has not necessarily rocked the boat yet. Indeed, when it comes to defining Europe’s relations towards its southern neighbourhood, the European Union and NATO have given a great deal of attention to the Mediterranean.
