Black Sea Cooperation Platform in the field of Migration and Development

24 March 2009

Scope and objectives of the Cooperation Platform:

The proposal for a Cooperation Platform in the field of Migration and Development is meant to supplement the already existing dialogue between EU and the Black Sea States, as well as between the States of the region themselves, and to add a regional dimension to the management of migration. It aims at becoming an important communication channel with the EU in the field of migration and development, bringing the realities of the Black Sea region to the attention of the European Union central institutions.

It also has the potential to facilitate the flow of information on possible financing sources for projects in the region. The initiatives and the projects agreed upon within the framework of the Platform could benefit from EU funding (EU programme concerning Migration and Asylum, ENPI, pre-accession funds, etc).
