German Social-Democrat Martin Schulz was re-elected to head the European Parliament in the first session since elections in May. Schulz, outgoing president of the last European Parliament, won 409 votes for and 314 against or blank ballots, in a session that was marred by eurosceptic opposition. Schulz, announced one year ago that he will revive the ‘Union for the Mediterranean’, a now moribund initiative first launched in 2008 by the then French President Nicolas Sarkozy. In other words : The Union for the Mediterranean is 'NOT' a dead project or a failed endeavor of the EU leadership ! ( it is still a Beast in progress somewhere under wraps in the Mediterranean region and who will very possibly rise to the astonishment of many in the future* )
