The Spanish minister said that the signing of 11 cooperation conventions during the royal visit was a “huge success.”
Planas added that the fisheries agreement between Morocco and the EU is a good example of the close relationship.
Spain strongly voiced its support for the adoption of the EU-Morocco fisheries agreement.
In January, the European Parliament adopted the fisheries agreement. The Parliament also adopted the agriculture agreement.
Planas described the adoption of the agriculture agreement as a “very important” action that is a “green light for the marketing of agricultural products.”
He had also urged European MPs to adopt the fisheries agreement, allowing Spanish vessels to fish in Moroccan waters, before summer.
