"The challenges associated with the EU-Morocco agreement concerning reciprocal liberalisation of agricultural products and fishery products have produced strong reactions on the part of our farmers, who fear that their activities will be crushed by unfair competition. I would like to reassure them that there are guarantees. Given the sensitive nature of this sector and the offensive capability of Morocco, mechanisms for preserving this area have been implemented. In particular, this involves maintaining quotas for the most sensitive products (tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, clementines and so on) which will be subject to monthly management, maintaining entry prices for fruit and vegetables, and a safeguard clause. Specific provisions have also been provided for tomatoes, which are in a very challenging position. The liberalisation that Morocco has agreed to will also contribute to strengthening the position of European exporters on the Moroccan market with an immediate and almost total liberalisation of certain sectors. Finally, this agreement enshrines a commitment made in 2008 when Morocco obtained ‘advanced status’. It demonstrates the EU’s wish to support the process of democratisation and reforms being conducted in the country and, eventually, to achieve a common economic space."@en1
