Rachida Dati (PPE), in writing. – (FR) This agreement between the European Union and Morocco provides a framework for future relations, enabling Morocco to participate in European Union programmes. It is a key element in deepening our relations with Morocco and will enable significant sectoral approximation. It guarantees Morocco a fair share of the Union’s budget allocated to specific programmes in which it can choose to take part. It is an essential stage in forging ever closer links with our ‘advanced status’ partner, Morocco.
