"Cooperation between the EU and the Kingdom of Morocco dates back many years to 1 March 2000, when the EU-Morocco association agreement came into force, providing for the gradual adoption of measures to liberalise reciprocal trade in agricultural and fisheries products. Recent political events in certain countries on the southern shore of the Mediterranean require a prompt and effective response from the EU in terms of cooperation, in order to contribute to deepening the democratic process, while also strengthening bilateral relations. This new agreement means more financial benefits for Moroccan small-scale farmers and improves the quality of products by introducing new requirements relating to plant health. Although I consider it important to strengthen bilateral relations between the EU and the Kingdom of Morocco, demonstrating our belief in a country that is beginning a process of democratic reform, I abstained from the vote on the report, as I am not certain that small-scale farmers in southern Europe, particularly Portugal and Spain, will not be harmed by this agreement."@en1
