"The Kingdom of Morocco is an African country with almost 32 million inhabitants. Morocco is currently a privileged partner of the EU and the largest recipient of EU funds under the European Neighbourhood Policy. The EU is Morocco’s most important export market, its leading public and private external investor and its most important tourism market. The fishing industry has been an important economic pillar for Morocco for a long time, and the country is considered to be the largest fish market in Africa, with the fishing sector accounting for an estimated 400 000 jobs. The European Community and the Kingdom of Morocco concluded a Fisheries Partnership Agreement (FPA) on 22 May 2006 which entered into force on 28 February 2007. On the basis of a mandate from the Council, the European Commission conducted negotiations with the Kingdom of Morocco on the renewal of the Protocol to the FPA by one year, following the expiry of the initial Protocol.
A one-year extension is now provisionally applied, but the Council still needs the consent of the European Parliament to adopt the new Protocol. I firmly believe that it is right for the European Parliament to grant consent and, at the same time, to authorise its President to convey this position to the Council and the Commission, and to the governments and parliaments of the Member States and of the Kingdom of Morocco."@en1
