Sarkozy to host Mediterranean summit in July
Visiting French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Thursday announced that he would host a summit of Mediterranean rim countries to establish an EU-type union of the zone in July. He made the announcement at a joint news conference in Rome with the Italian and Spanish prime ministers, Romano Prodi and Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. Sarkozy advocates the grouping partly as an alternative to Turkish membership of the European Union. Italy favours Ankara's entry into the EU.
