"The reforms initiated by the King of Morocco which allow for gradual evolution in this country must certainly be welcomed, and cooperation with this great country must be encouraged. However, this certainly must not come at the price of a free trade agreement on agricultural products, which has been acknowledged to be a step towards Morocco’s participation in the European internal market, a very questionable objective.
Such an agreement would be devastating not just for European producers but also for the Moroccans, especially those who make a living from family-run and subsistence farming. We can never stress enough the importance and the crucial role of these types of agriculture in the food security and independence of nations.
A free trade agreement, whatever its scope, is certainly a ‘win-win’ situation for large multinational companies and global financiers. It is always a losing game for the people and the workers, who have been ruined here and reduced to slavery there."@en1
