Summary Criminal groups take advantage of weak governments, endemic corruption, vast porous borders, poor security conditions, and of the paucity of regional and cross-national coordination in the fight against the phenomena of trafficking and smuggling. The main challenge in addressing the situation is finding the balance between short-term interventions (focusing on repression and deterrence), and long-term strategies (focusing on curbing the socio-economic push factors as well as economic benefit pull factors) to disrupt criminal behaviours and activities across the region. Of particular concern is the development of links between criminal and terrorist actors in the Mediterranean region. This can occur where terrorist groups become involved in criminality as a means of generating funding and/or exploit criminal networks and commit criminal offences in pursuit of their objectives
