"I voted against the report since I am absolutely against the approval of the agreement between the EU and Morocco on agricultural and fishery products. This agreement is entirely detrimental to our agricultural producers and, above all, it does not guarantee any reciprocity and facilitates the invasion of our markets by Moroccan agricultural products to the detriment of local production. Providing for lower customs duties for Moroccan goods and expanding the quotas of products that can access the European market is equivalent to inflicting a hard blow against our agricultural sector, causing both direct and indirect harm to economies, primarily in the Mediterranean countries of Europe. Increasing numbers of products will enter Europe originating from Morocco, where they are produced and cultivated at very low costs without any respect for social standards and often using child labour. Products will enter our markets which do not respect the same quality and safety standards for consumers that European producers are required to respect. Finally, the agreement will not even result in any improvements for Moroccan counterparts, because it will only be a few major agricultural and food groups that benefit from the situation, and certainly not small and medium-sized producers."@en1
