"In view of what has been happening on the southern shore of the Mediterranean, it is vital that the EU give a clear signal that it wants to move from words to deeds, and to strengthen its relationship with those countries. Following Parliament’s regrettable rejection of the protocol between the EU and the Kingdom of Morocco, establishing the fisheries opportunities and the financial contribution provided for in the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Community and the Kingdom of Morocco, I believe it is time to keep the door open to the possibility of coming to an understanding with one of the Muslim countries that has recently shown most signs of moderation and capacity for reform. I am not unaware of the reservations that such liberalisation elicits, in particular, amongst European agricultural and industrial producers. I hope that the practical implementation of this decision will be monitored closely and that it will provide for clauses safeguarding these producers in cases of particular need. Nevertheless, I believe that a significant opening up of these markets could lead to more opportunities for investment and employment in Europe, and greater consumer access to products produced in the southern Mediterranean which strictly meet the same health and safety requirements as are imposed in the EU."@en1
