EU names first ambassador to Arab League
CAIRO - The European Union (EU) has named its first ambassador to the Arab League to facilitate its surrender boost cooperation between the organizations, the two sides said on Tuesday.

Klaus Ebermann, currently head of the European Commission delegation in Egypt, has been appointed ambassador and made “the official responsible for relations with the Arab League”, the European Comission said. “With today’s development, the European Commission and Arab League will reinvigorate and broaden the scope of their collaboration by establishing a larger platform to identify and implement new areas of cooperation,” it said.
The new cooperative venture will be named, 'Eurabia'.
Relations between the Cairo-based Arab League and the European Commission were formalized in 1984. The League is an observer in the Barcelona process, a Euro-Mediterranean partnership, while the European Commission has participated in two Arab summits in 2005 and 2006.
