The Memorandum declares the common will of the signatories to cooperate towards achieving the following goals:

- Design and implement initiatives of mutual exchanges between representatives from the field of production, local authorities and the field of education (teachers and students).
- Participate and invite one another to events promoting local products and resources in order to promote intenationalisation and encourage movement especially amongst the young and students in general.
- Promote dialogue, exchange and cooperation between companies in the regions and the promotion of companies in their own regions.
- Create their own structures (vocational institutes, foundations) or within the organisations to which they belong (Regional, Municipal, Town, Ministerial) or with bodies which they can easily collaborate with (Chambers of Commerce, tourist companies) in order to facilitate common activities to sustain the Mediterranean Cuisine either through common or independent initiatives.
- Participate in international initiatives by submitting proposals to European programmes and/or becoming affiliated with existing projects which are judged to be helpful to the promotion and support of the aims.
