EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

4 unchanged paragraphs

The Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area (PRIMA) aims to build research and innovation capacities and to develop knowledge and common innovative solutions in the Mediterranean area. PRIMA has proven to be a successful instrument for fostering international cooperation in research and innovation, focussing on the fields of water management, farming systems and the food value chain. In the Mediterranean, a region of strategic geopolitical relevance for the Union, PRIMA serves as a strong example of science diplomacy. The programme’s added value was confirmed by its 2023 interim evaluation, which highlighted its unique role in reinforcing research capacities and scientific integration as well as advancing the Union’s strategic objectives in the region.

The Republic of Lebanon has long been actively participating in regional scientific networks and has expressed strong interest in expanding collaboration with European research frameworks. Lebanon is among the 19 Participating States in PRIMA. Since acceding to PRIMA in 2018, Lebanon has taken part in 42 out of 269 projects funded under the instrument.

The amended Agreement will enable Lebanon to continue its full participation in the partnership, ensuring the continuity of cooperation and sustained joint efforts to address common challenges. The Agreement is also consistent with wider EU–Lebanon cooperation priorities, notably economic recovery, youth engagement, and the promotion of innovation ecosystems and entrepreneurship.

For the reasons stated above, the Rapporteur believes that it is in the Union’s interest to conclude this Agreement.
