Mediation in the European Union

Mediation in the European Union is a process used to resolve disputes amicably and efficiently, often involving a neutral third party called a mediator. When parties have disagreements, such as between member states or companies, mediation aims to find common ground without formal legal proceedings. The mediator facilitates dialogue, helping parties understand each other's positions and work toward a mutually acceptable solution. This approach promotes cooperation, saves time and resources, and maintains relationships, especially in complex issues like trade, regulations, or policy disagreements within the EU framework.
