"I voted in favour of approving this Protocol to the EU-Morocco agreement because it constitutes a step forward in the Union’s policy with regard to the southern Mediterranean countries, particularly in the context of the Arab Spring. It is an essential part of the realignment of values and economies, with the eventual aim of creating a common Euro-Mediterranean economic space, and should benefit all Moroccan farmers. Furthermore, this Protocol gives some reality to the advanced status which Morocco and the European Union presented in outline form in October 2008, and marks an important intermediate step prior to the start of negotiations on a complete and far-reaching free trade agreement, which is currently being deliberated. Finally, it consolidates the position of European exporters on the Moroccan market while maintaining mechanisms for protecting the most sensitive areas of European production. In the end, therefore, it is a Protocol which will produce equitable results for both parties, and that is why I supported it."@en1
