\"2439099-3421008\"<\/a>Countries in the Mediterranean basin must act not to counter the blow delivered by the recent crisis, but rather to protect themselves from \u201cgrowing competition from China and the emergence of India, the potential impact of which will be greater for Mediterranean economies”, predicts Nicolas P\u00e9ridy, a member of the Economics Laboratory Applied to Development (LEAD) and coordinator of the report \u201dCrises and methods of emerging from crises in FEMIP partner countries\u201d by Femise.<\/p>\n

According to Mr P\u00e9ridy, there is no doubt about this: \u201cLevels of knowledge must increase in order to produce goods with high value-added. Mediterranean countries must turn towards the knowledge economy.”<\/p>\n

The move from a subcontractor culture to co-contracting culture<\/h5>\n

Without upgrading to international standards, it will be difficult for them to access markets: no certification will mean no exports. From the explosion in the number of ISO-certified companies, it is clear that countries in the Mediterranean have understood this: numbering 10 in 1995, there are now 13,000 such companies.<\/p>\n

What will this involve? Moving from a subcontractor culture to a co-contracting culture as part of a value chain. Nicolas P\u00e9ridy also recommends greater openness in European agriculture markets, where the breeding grounds of poverty and illiteracy are found. \u201cIt would be desirable for Mediterranean countries to have greater access to European markets and that, in return, they commit to liberalising their service sectors\u201d, he says.<\/p>\n

An emphasis on training and encouraging the emergence of business clusters to produce value-added: these are the challenges to be addressed by countries in the Mediterranean if they wish to remain in the race in the face of the emergence of competitors from Asia.<\/p>\n
