2 ascameopinions ASCAME, spokesman of the private sector in the Mohamed Choucair President of Ascame The Association of the Chambers of Commerce and Industry The Week of Economic Leaders extend the consultation of all entrepreneurs who wish to speak in the presence of the representatives of the European Union and the Union for the. MEDITOUR brings together leading tour operators in the basin, becoming a unique opportunity to create synergies and to develop the tourism. As the world becomes aware of the importance of the Public-Private partnership, ASCAME, The Association of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of the, reveals itself as a model of its kind, which can heavily contribute to the emergence of the South countries and to the constitution of an Euromed area whose hegemony cannot be challenged in this area of the world. The organization facing the private sector today is the Union for the, which includes the 43 countries of the Euro- area. We can say that the willingness to cooperate is strong from all sides, but the social platforms and the economic instruments of the region must find their anchors inside the UfM and phase their efforts to strengthen the socio-economic climate of the region; well understood broadly including freedom, democracy, respect for human beings, equality of women, child protection and the fight against insecurity and ignorance- in a word all objective development goals that today are grouped within the term the new measures of economic well-being which gave birth to inclusive development. In ASCAME we believe in doing useful work and we are, in a way, walking a historical path. The presence of 20 presidents of Chambers of Commerce on the Committee allows us to feel the pulse of the economy at the spot while others must wait for a long time to obtain statistical results. Through the network of national chambers, we can take action and make public- private partnership a reality. Every year the Week of Economic Leaders extend the consultation of all entrepreneurs who wish to speak in the presence of the representatives of the European Union and the Union for the, among others. MEDITOUR brings together leading tour operators in the basin, becoming a unique opportunity to create synergies and to develop the tourism activity beyond the borders of the region. The logic of ASCAME is the logic of action. Thirty years ago it was a pious hope, only the more developed Chambers of Commerce of the wished to cooperate in order to exchange information and good practices. Today history has joined them, and ASCAME has a socio-economic mission anchored in the UfM in all its aspects. 2

Many factors limit the diffusion of PV technologies among citizens, such as the lack of knowledge of their benefits or their implementation procedures.
