Eduard Soler (INEX WP6) acted as a discussant. He pointed out that Morocco has been depicted as the
country that has gone further in complying with the EU demands although it has also instrumentalised the
EU fears in issues such as border control.

detailing the Justice and Home Affairs dimension of EU policies toward the Mediterranean. Her presentation
and the discussion that followed were received under Chatham House rules.

dilemmas.
Eduard Soler (INEX WP6) led a general discussion afterwards, highlighting what has been achieved and
what remains to be done. Among other aspects, he pointed out that there was a need to map the
dependencies and interdependencies between the EU and their southern neighbours and that the
comparative approach between eastern and southern neighbourhood would be of paramount importance.
