In December 2011, a decision was taken not to extend the provisional fisheries agreement between the EU and Morocco, the main beneficiary of which had been the Spanish fisheries sector.

What stage have the latest EU-Morocco negotiations reached? What are the main obstacles to concluding an agreement? What changes have been made to the 2011 agreement rejected by Parliament?
