It is primarily important to discuss and act for a eliminating the roots of the problem. PADOP has already submitted a proposal to the Greek government and the EU Commission for a Middle-East and Mediterranean Peace Program. Steps to disarmament and demilitarization of the Middle-East are also required. As for the Mediterranean, steps to bridging the North-South gap are required by the EU. Greece has recently organized an EU-Med Summit in Athens on the initiative of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. This was a very positive initiative not only for the Mediterranean but for the EU as a whole.
