On 16 April 2025, the European Apparel and Textile Confederation (EURATEX) and the Fédération Tunisienne du Textile et de l’Habillement (FTTH) formalised a new chapter in Euro-Mediterranean collaboration by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Monastir, Tunisia. This agreement reinforces the commitment of both parties to closer industrial cooperation, with a strong focus on sustainability, investment, and trade integration under the revised Pan-Euro-Mediterranean Convention.    

The MoU aims to establish a structured dialogue and actionable cooperation between the two key textile industries. It reflects a broader vision to revitalise and reinforce industrial partnerships across the Mediterranean, promoting a model of cooperation rooted in proximity, trust, and shared economic interests. This initiative supports Tunisia’s ambition to become a modern, circular, and competitive textile hub, while encouraging investment and industrial synergies with European partners.
