"I understand the concerns over this agreement, which has been under discussion since 2008 and which is going to be adopted, but guarantees have been put in place to protect the interests of European producers. The quotas remain the same, Moroccan products will not have access to the European market during the peak sales periods for European products, and socioeconomic and environmental criteria will have to be met by the Moroccans. We must ensure that there is free, undistorted competition and we must defend the interests of European agricultural operators. If market imbalances appear, compensatory measures to help European farmers will have to be implemented. With the expansion of the Moroccan market, we are going to be able to increase our exports to that country, too. It is at the same time a reward for Morocco for its democratic reforms, and it would be dangerous to reject the agreement. We thus have to strike a balance between protection for our agriculture and our special partnership with the Moroccans. That is the spirit in which I support this agreement, although I will monitor carefully its implementation. It is possible to preserve our agricultural model and open up our market at the same time. Thank you."@en1
