"Despite the asymmetry in the liberalisation of access to European and Moroccan markets and the difficulties that some producers may face in view of increased competition, I believe that, on balance, this agreement will be beneficial to European companies, workers and consumers as it will allow easier access to a market that is expanding and full of opportunities. In political terms, this is another sign that the EU is not only voicing its good intentions, but is also capable of making a real commitment to progress in North Africa and seeking to establish a partnership with this region, enabling it to project, not only its interests, but also its ‘soft power’ here. While I understand the fears of European farmers, fishermen and manufacturers, I believe that for its own good, the EU has a duty to seek a closer relationship with Morocco and the other Arab countries, and to cement a commercially fruitful and lasting relationship which can form the foundation for a stable and balanced relationship in respect for the values of human dignity, human rights, democracy and the rule of law."@en1
