Berlin - Germany and France have resolved their difference on the establishment of a new political body for nations bordering the Mediterranean Sea, a government spokesman said in Berlin Tuesday. Chancellor and Angela Merkel and French President Nicholas Sarkozy will jointly present a proposal for the so-called Mediterranean Union at the EU summit in Brussels on Thursday, the spokesman said.

Merkel would also travel to Paris for the ceremony launching the Mediterranean Union on July 13, the spokesman added.

Differences over the new body had threatened to cast a shadow over the EU summit, with the Germans upset at being left out of what they perceived as a unilateral Paris project.
