MOROCCO. Currently, large-scale retailers in Morocco are not suffering competition from the Internet. For Moroccans, the place of production or harvest is of great importance, as is the need to be able to look at, touch and smell the fruit and vegetables that they are to buy.

France-Morocco ferries adrift
Nathalie Bureau du Colombier | 12/04/2012 | Maritime
FRANCE / MOROCCO. 2012 marks a turning point in the history of maritime passenger transport between France and Morocco. After more than 35 years in service, Comanav and Comarit ferries stopped in January, leaving nearly 200,000 passengers on the quayside. Given it’s the height of the season, the Moroccan government is trying to find a solution, even a temporary one, so Moroccans in France can return home.

Youth brain drain continues in the Maghreb
Christiane Navas | 22/02/2012 | Expertises socio-économiques
MAGHREB. These new, better-trained migrants enrich their country of origin but not enough to compensate for the loss their departure causes. They contribute to this loss by relocating and by the hope given to those looking to develop their skills. Only their return, however, could change this.

Grandeur and decadence of authoritarian regimes in the Mediterranean
Nathalie Bureau du Colombier | 21/11/2011 | Expertises socio-économiques
The heads that have rolled in the Mediterranean region signal the end of several decades of authoritarian regimes and a corruption that has infiltrated all levels of society. The challenge now is to establish new rules of play on solid foundations. We hope that the new dawn brings transparent governments and supervisory bodies.

More work needed on efficient water use
Michel Neumuller | 15/11/2011 | Environnement et enjeux de développement

Nathalie Bureau du Colombier | 08/11/2011 | Expertises socio-économiques

Banking systems need to further diversify to ensure growth after the Arab Spring
Nathalie Bureau du Colombier | 30/09/2011 | Expertises socio-économiques

However, State interference in banking institutions and corruption is hindering their effectiveness. A recent FEMISE study (FEM33-04) says there is still great room for improvement.

Springtime for infrastructure
Frédéric Dubessy | 24/05/2011 | Avis d'experts
One of the side effects of the scent of jasmine drifting across North Africa is that people are becoming more aware of the importance of good infrastructure, especially social infrastructure. That is why we have seen calls for cheaper and better public services at the demonstrations and...

Pour une réorganisation des relations entre l’Union européenne et les pays méditerranéens
Jean-François Coustillière Par Jean-François Coustillière, consultant sur les questions euro-méditerranéennes
Aujourd’hui l’Union européenne (UE) dispose de trois cadres différents qu’elle a, elle-même, proposés, pour organiser la coopération en Méditerranée : le Processus de Barcelone (PB) né en 1995, la politique européenne de voisinage (PEV) née en 2003 et l’Union pour la Méditerranée (UpM) née en 2008.
Aspects géopolitiques de la crise syrienne
Michel Roche Par Michel Roche, consultant
Depuis plus d’un an la Syrie vit un drame et on ne voit pas émerger une solution. Les résolutions pourtant peu ambitieuses des Nations Unies, ne sont pas respectées et l’envoi d’un contingent d’observateurs qui atteindra 300 hommes (sic) parait bien dérisoire face à l’ampleur de la crise.
