Granted pretty much all of this is pure speculation because very little has yet to come out on any hypothetical Mediterranean Union, but couldn't Mauritiania possibly become a member? It has strong ties to the other Maghreb countries and is very involved in the problem of illegal migration which presumably would be at the center of MU activities. Nicolasdz 17:08, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Mauritania is shown on the map in the article as being a proposed member - is this correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.100.250.218 ( talk) 12:41, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
If anyone can find an official German response to the proposal, please reference it in the article. I've looked, but all I can find in English are private denunciations (I don't speak German). Nicolasdz 17:08, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Why aren't the countries boardering the Adriatic sea possible members? Aaker 09:41, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
after reading the article i sensed that the Mediteranean Union is a European Union organization that has invited in some of its ousthern neighbors, i think it is neccessary to keep the EU out of this article, or perhaps include a section for its role in the Creation of the Mediteranean Union, i dont find any mentioning the Arab League!!
it has nothing to do with the other leagues and Unions..

As I can see things from Switzerland, the Mediterranean Union's major purpose is to boost northern africa's developpement, and maybe more, as Israel announced it was interested in the project. The thing with Turkey is more like a promise from Sarkozy to the racist part of his electorate, negociations between EU and Turkey didn't stop (nobody else than Sarkozy thought of the Mediterranean Union as a way to keep Turkey out of EU, seems to me.) Whatsoever, we should find some sources for all that stuff, instead of using Wikipedia as a forum. Kromsson 12:01, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

What does Portugal have to do with the Mediterranean Sea? Does anyone know why an Atlantic country have been included in this supranational organization? -- 83.45.180.18 ( talk) 13:08, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
All EU members are by default part of the Union for the Mediterranean, regardless of whether they have a Mediterranean coastline. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.175.236.10 ( talk) 17:13, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Sarkozy promised his electorate base to prevent Turkey's EU membership and came up with an imaginary union of mediterranean countries. Turkey clearly stated that it will not be part of any such union, as a blow to Sarkozy's wet dream. Additionally, Sarkozy has visions of using the prospective Mediterranean Union as a tool to dominate the internal politics of former colonies of France, namely Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria. With Maghreb states being independent and not given any hopes to join EU, France lost most of its political leverage on the governments of these three states for decades. Sarkozy's Napoleonic visions of gaining control over former imperial territory and vsions of fulfilling his promise to keep Turkey out of EU in order to ride the ultranationalist/racist wave rising in France, brought the Mediterranean Union idea into French politics as a very useful concept. Due to lack genuine support, on the part of France, to bring together Mediterranean countries on a level platform where collaborations can be forged and problems can be discussed, this idea is seen as a result of French political hypocrisy and a mere annoyance rather than an attractive proposal in Turkey. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.12.172.231 ( talk) 17:36, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

What ever happened to the section that mentioned these and briefly explained why they were not (at least for the time being) included to be part of the Union. Such places like Monaco, Gibraltar, the Balkans. I think it's important to mention these in the article to avoid confusion. -- Gibmetal 77 talk 11:18, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Whilst this was orginally proposed by Sarkozy as a separate organisation to the Barcelona Process it now looks to be fully integrated with that. Therefore, should these two articles be merged together? AndrewRT( Talk) 21:43, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Should someone put up the results of the meetings? 75.0.228.190 ( talk) 19:45, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Can someone explain why the UK, germany, the netherlands, finland etc. are inluded in the mediterranian union?? That is just stupid, as far as I can see their only relation to the med is the fact that are share borders with or a close to a country that is touching it, and as for being members of the EU, that hardly warrants membership for a geographically defined organisation. Taifar ious1 09:32, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
It is a German jalousy. Germany, like most northern European nation would heve prefered to be a mediterranean nation. When Sarkozy developped the ide to make an union that include all mediterranean nations Germany was upset not being included, or more precisely Germany was jalous that France was included in a union in wich Germany wasn't. I doubt that France would have reacted the same way if germany was at the origin of the creation of a Baltic union, France would never ask to be included in such an union in which it has nothing to see. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.224.59.166 ( talk) 13:39, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
I'd like to note that one of the maps does show Kosovo, the other one does not. Despite the fact that it is highly controversial whether it is an independent state or not, I suggest we stick to one version. -- MrMister88 ( talk) 01:24, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

As far as I know geography, the Black Sea is part of the Mediterranean, just like the Adriatic Sea. Now, where are the Black Sea countries in this union? The Ukraine, Russia, and Georgia (the post-Soviet state, you know), they should all be a part of this union. They are not even mentioned in the article. Mátyás ( talk) 09:31, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Well, I just thought that since the MU is being used to try and bring peace to the Near East by having Arab countries and Israel in the same regional organisation where they will have to work together, maybe it could do the same for Russia, Georgia and the Ukraine. Just a thought. And Merkel made it clear that they must be part of the MU because the MU uses EU funds. True, the MU could exist without EU funding and so be independent of the EU, but...-- Mátyás ( talk) 11:55, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
The pop. number was wrong. I have putted the one from the article about the country. Though no official census was taken...

Romania and Bulgaria are Mediterranean countries, for they are on the Black Sea, and Jordan and Mauritania are just not on the Mediterranean. Jordan has a bit of coast in the Gulf of Aqaba, which is in the Red Sea, and Mauritania is on the Atlantic.-- Mátyás ( talk) 08:49, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
The black sea is not the mediterranean, even if both are connected. Red sea or Atlantic ocean are also connected to the mediterranean, that does not mean they are part of it. —Preceding

Well then I'll have to rephrase my question: is the Black Sea part of the Mediterranean in a strictly geographic sense? Mátyás ( talk) 12:04, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Could someone integrate the information from this article ( [2] ) into the page? Swedish pirate ( talk) 18:02, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Note that when citing and referring EUobserver articles, then EUobserver is spelt like in the wikilink here. - Mardus ( talk) 02:29, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
Berlin united with the Central and Eastern European member states to downgrade Sarkozy’s Union for the Mediterranean into a meaningless discussion forum and inefficient member bloated exercise.
and
Germany’s insistence for the inclusion of all EU member states in the Mediterranean Union would finally prevent it from ever emerging as a meaningful institution.
I found these opinions in the article " Nicolas Sarkozy’s Foreign Policy Should Be Vindicated" in the Atlantic Sentinel. Perhaps this is a perspective that should be offered to the readers of the present article, perhaps if added sources can be brought forth to corroborate this stance? __ meco ( talk) 11:53, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
A case in point to the above seems to be this report: " Euromed: Study reports UfM failure of action in Arab Spring". __ meco ( talk) 12:02, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Well, I just thought that since the MU is being used to try and bring peace to the Near East by having Arab countries and Israel in the same regional organisation where they will have to work together, maybe it could do the same for Russia, Georgia and the Ukraine. Just a thought. And Merkel made it clear that they must be part of the MU because the MU uses EU funds. True, the MU could exist without EU funding and so be independent of the EU, but...-- Mátyás ( talk) 11:55, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
The pop. number was wrong. I have putted the one from the article about the country. Though no official census was taken...
Where the hell did that come from? What's the source for it?- J.Logan` t: 16:46, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
Could someone edit some news, like where it'll have its headquarters, from this article: [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.229.73.179 ( talk) 06:17, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Romania and Bulgaria are Mediterranean countries, for they are on the Black Sea, and Jordan and Mauritania are just not on the Mediterranean. Jordan has a bit of coast in the Gulf of Aqaba, which is in the Red Sea, and Mauritania is on the Atlantic.-- Mátyás ( talk) 08:49, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
The black sea is not the mediterranean, even if both are connected. Red sea or Atlantic ocean are also connected to the mediterranean, that does not mean they are part of it. —Preceding

Well then what is the big difference with the Adriatic? It is also only connected to the Med, and you wouldn't think that Croatia isn't a Mediterranean country. Mátyás ( talk) 14:06, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Well then I'll have to rephrase my question: is the Black Sea part of the Mediterranean in a strictly geographic sense? Mátyás ( talk) 12:04, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Could someone integrate the information from this article ( [2] ) into the page? Swedish pirate ( talk) 18:02, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
Much of this article talks about upcoming events and plans for dates that have long passed. It needs a complete overhaul and update (and parts could do with being translated into English at the same time!). Skinsmoke ( talk) 18:17, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
As part of the US Public Policy WikiProject, I will be updating shortly this entry for my graduate class on Introduction to the Study of the Arab World, a required course in Georgetown's M.A. in Arab studies. I am currently working in my sandbox with the content that I will be adding. —Preceding undated comment added 23:07, 27 October 2010 (UTC).
Note that when citing and referring EUobserver articles, then EUobserver is spelt like in the wikilink here. - Mardus ( talk) 02:29, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
Berlin united with the Central and Eastern European member states to downgrade Sarkozy’s Union for the Mediterranean into a meaningless discussion forum and inefficient member bloated exercise.
and
Germany’s insistence for the inclusion of all EU member states in the Mediterranean Union would finally prevent it from ever emerging as a meaningful institution.
I found these opinions in the article " Nicolas Sarkozy’s Foreign Policy Should Be Vindicated" in the Atlantic Sentinel. Perhaps this is a perspective that should be offered to the readers of the present article, perhaps if added sources can be brought forth to corroborate this stance? __ meco ( talk) 11:53, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
A case in point to the above seems to be this report: " Euromed: Study reports UfM failure of action in Arab Spring". __ meco ( talk) 12:02, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
