Morocco Fisheries Agreement to be Closed Soon

06 February 2012

SPAIN - The Minister of Agriculture, Food and Environment, Miguel Arias Cañete, has announced that Coreper (Committee of Permanent Representatives of the EU) has approved the negotiating mandate of the fishing agreement with Morocco.

"I want to thank the work of Commissioner Damanaki and all the collaboration from Member States which has helped negotiate the mandate to allow for a definate close of a fisheries agreement with Morocco. This will enable the fishing fleets of Andalusia, Galicia and the Canary Islands to get back to fishing in waters of the Kingdom of Morocco as soon as possible," Mr Arias Cañete added.
