The political turbulence that the Maghreb states (especially Tunisia, Egypt and Libya) have been going through demands the attention of the EU authorities, in the first place because of the geographical proximity of these states to continental Europe, but also for the sake of protecting our shared space. The experience of the European Communities shows that economic cooperation, by creating ties of interdependence and reciprocity among peoples, provides an ideal means for pursuing certain essential aims of the Community project, such as the defence of fundamental human rights, of the rule of law and of the democratic legitimisation of governments. We must therefore applaud the adoption of a Euro-Mediterranean Association Agreement between the European Union and its Member States on the one hand and the Kingdom of Morocco on the other, covering the general principles for the Kingdom of Morocco’s participation in Union programmes. This measure opens the door to closer relations between the two entities, allowing the Kingdom of Morocco, a Maghreb state, to take part in various Community projects. Since I regard this as an important political step forwards, I have voted in favour."@en1
