Dear Ira,
What if we postpone the visit to Israel 2 days, thus till October 27th, which is the proposed date for the Inception Mission to take place in the Palestinian Authorities, for that we should first consult it with them and have their prior approval, so in this case it gives you two days more margin to arrange the mission. Do you think it would be possible, in the fist place, to arrange it so we can have a broader meeting with, of course the NFP, yourself, as well as the relevant representatives in the Ministry of Justice, the Judiciary, etc.??? Or you think it would not be possible, what-so-ever, to do that and in such a case we would have to postpone till November, as you suggested by phone on Tuesday.
Really our priority, Ira, is to have the most complete agenda possible for this mission. This is why if there is no mean to rearrange it for October 27th, we can make it either on November 22, 23, 24, 29 or the 30th, which are the days proposed to make the inception missions to Tunisia and depending on their reply we could arrange it during one of these days, at your convenience.
Please let me know, ASAP, so we take the necessary actions.
Kind Regards,
Dania Samoul

We will organise a visit to each Beneficiary Country during the Inception Phase in order to explain to the competent authorities the general approach of the project and to ask their involvement at the highest level of the Ministry of Justice, as well as the competent Judicial Institutions, so that all of them will understand the importance of their contribution to the Project approach and development, to the whole region as well as for the relationships with the EU and international organisations.
The aim of sucah a mission is to give each South partner country a more detailed introduction to the Project. The content of the meetings would be the presentation of the Consortium created for the implementation of this Project, as well the description of the project, presentation of a tentative calendar for the inaugural conference, the implementation of the activities (Publications, working groups, training sessions, study visits, etc), and detailing the most relevant aspects and details for each activity of the EuroMed Justice III Project.
During these visits, the Key experts of the Project Team will also have the opportunity to get feedback, opinion and comments on the project, which will allow them to better define the approach and contents of the various activities planned during the three-year implementation period.
In addition to that, these inception meetings will allow the Project Team to inform each Beneficiary Country about the future requests to nominate:
- 1 National Focal Point. The profile of this person, position within the Ministry, his/her tasks and Terms of Reference throughout the EuroMed Justice III Project, etc.
- 3 members of the Ministry of Justice to participate in the Opening Conference of the Project to take place in Brussels during the month of February 2012. Each Ministry of Justice from the ENPI South partner countries will receive the detailed description and profile of the selected participants.
- 2 high-level experts who will be members of the 4 Working Groups (3 for each of the 4 Working Groups mentioned above and 8 substitutes in order to guarantee continuity of the work.
We suggest to visti, in order to build the contacts, the following BC institutions:
-The Ministry of Justice
-The main Judicial Authorities that you consider worth visiting for the sake of the Project (Supreme Court, General Council of the Judiciary, etc.)
-The Judicial Training Centre(s), the Bar Association and the main NGOs involved in the 3 before-mentioned Components of the Project.
I will give you a call after lunch time and see it with you, then.
