EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström said: “The EU and Morocco are very close trading partners. The negotiations concluded today will be an incentive for even more trade and investment. The protection of geographical indications is a win-win – it will make it clear to consumers where products come from, so that they can make an informed choice.”
Moroccan Agriculture Minister Aziz Akhannouch added: “This agreement provides a real opportunity for our growers and especially the smaller ones who have real authentic know-how to maximize the added value of their production.”
The deal will be passed to the European Council and the European Parliament – and to the legislative authorities in Morocco – where it must be approved before going into force.
