8 Recommendation Ladies and Gentlemen, It is the time now to change our thinking and attitudes towards the cooperation between Europe and Arab Countries in the electricity sector from one region in the Arab Countries ( Mediterranean Region) to all Arab Countries including the GCC Countries. GCC Countries now having ambitious plans in Renewable energy exceeds some Mediterranean Arab Countries. The new interconnection between Egypt and Saudi Arabia is the first step to interconnect GCC Countries with Europe.

9 It is easy to change the names of the different bodies and organizations by changing MED into Arab. Such as: Medring = Arabring, Medelec = Arabelec, Medreg = Arabreg, Medtso = Arabtso and so on
