Abstract
The Union for the Mediterranean (UPM) was, on the one hand, the result of a compromise between the desire to preserve the achievements of the Euro-Mediterranean process launched in Barcelona in 1995 and a three-fold calculation on the part of Nicolas Sarkozy on the other. For the French President this meant a project-based depoliticization of the Euro- Mediterranean process, thereby uncoupling the Euro-Israeli relationship from the Israeli-Arab Peace Process and offsetting Turkey, whose European integration has been delayed indefinitely.
