520 |a The environmental degradation of the Mediterranean basin is already severe and is worsening by the day in many areas. To bring this degradation to a halt, the Mediterranean countries must find remedies for the underlying causes : harmful economic policies, weak regulatory and administrative systems, and insufficient popular awareness and political resolve. The base for common action is solid. The Mediterranean Action Plan, (begun in 1975), has advanced understanding of the threats to the environment and has provided a forum for common approaches and agreements. Much, however, remains to be done to influence the formulation of economic policies and investment projects. This report, a joint effort by the two Banks, identifies priority areas and defines the broad instruments of intervention for mounting a responsive program of assistance - the Environmental Program for the Mediterranean (EPM). This report concludes the first of the program ' s three phases. The second phase will identify and prepare investment projects and institution strengthening activities and will define specific policy measures. The third phase will implement these measures, projects and activities.
