THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES AND MOROCCO
Communication from the Parties
I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE AGREEMENT
1. Membership and Dates of Signature, Ratification and Entry into Force
The Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European
Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Kingdom of Morocco, of the other
part, was signed on 26 February 1996 and entered into force on 1 March 2001.
Subsequent to the signature of the Agreement, th e Parties agreed by an exchange of letters on
28 February 2000 to make certain amendments to Annexes 2, 3, 4 and 6 of the Agreement.1  Th e
effect of these amendments was to liberalise the tariff arrangements applied by Morocco to imports of
industrial products originating in the European Community.  These amendments are reflected in the
information provided below.
2. Type of Agreement
The Agreement establishes an association between the Parties. It establishes a free-trade area
over a transitional period lasting a maximum of 12 years starting from the date of entry into force of
the Agreement.
The objectives of the Agreement are: to establish the conditions for the gradual liberalisation
of trade in goods, services and capital; to promote trade and the expansion of harmonious economic
and social relations between the Parties, notably through dialogue and cooperation, so as to foster the
development and prosperity of Morocco and its people; to encourage integration of the Maghreb
countries by promoting trade and cooperation between Morocco and other countries of the region; and
to promote economic, social, cultural and financial co-operation.
3. Scope
Industrial, agricultural and fisheries products: the Agreement covers all chapters of the
Harmonised System (1-97).
4. Trade Data
EU imports from Morocco in 2000 amounted to €5,994 million. EU exports to Morocco in the
same period amounted to €7,689 million.  See attached statistical data for more detailed information.

II. TRADE PROVISIONS
1. Import Restrictions
1.1 Duties and charges
Industrial products originating in Morocco are imported into the Community free of customs
duties and charges having equivalent effect.
Customs duties and charges having equivalent effect applicable on import into Morocco of
products originating in the Community other than those listed in Annexes 3 to 6 are abolished on
entry into force of the Agreement.
Customs duties and charges having equivalent effect applicable on import into Morocco of
products originating in the Community listed in Annex 3 are eliminated progressively over a period of
three years from entry into force of the Agreement.
Customs duties and charges having equivalent effect applicable on import into Morocco of
products originating in the Community listed in Annex 4 are eliminated progressively over a period
beginning three years after entry into force of the agreement and concluding twelve years after entry
into force of the Agreement.
The reference prices applied on import into Morocco of products originating in the
Community listed in Annex 5 are eliminated at the latest three years after entry into force of the
Agreement.
The progressive elimination of customs duties and charges having equivalent effect does not
apply to products listed in Annex 6.  The arrangements to be applied to these products shall bere-examined by the Association Council three years after the entry into force of the Agreement.  At
the time of that re-examination, the Association Council will establish a tariff dismantling timetable
for all products listed in Annex 6, apart from those of sub-heading 630900.
1.2 Quantitative restrictions
Quantitative restrictions on imports and measures having equivalent effect between Morocco
and the EC are prohibited from entry into force of the Agreement, except in the case of imports into
Morocco of the products listed in Annex 6, where the requirement will only apply from the end of the
transitional period.  No new quantitative restrictions or measures having equivalent effect on imports
may be introduced after entry into force of the Agreement.
1.3 Common external tariff
The Agreement does not include any provision for the establishment of a common external
tariff.
2. Export Restrictions
The Agreement prohibits the application of customs duties or measures having equivalent
effect on exports between the EC and Morocco.  Quantitative restrictions on exports and measures
having equivalent effect between Morocco and the EC are also prohibited.WT/REG112/3
Page 3
3. Rules of Origin
The definition of the concept of “originating products” is set out in Title II of Protocol
Number 4 of the Agreement.
Evidence of the originating status of products is furnished by the EUR.1 movement
certificate.
The concepts of bilateral cumulation, of cumulation with materials originating in Algeria or
Tunisia and of cumulation of working or processing carried out in the Community, Algeria, Morocco
or Tunisia are treated in Articles 3, 4 and 5 respectively of Title II of Protocol Number 4 of the
Agreement.
4. Standards
The Agreement provides that the Parties take appropriate steps to promote the use by
Morocco of Community technical rules and European standards for industrial and agri-food products
and certification procedures.
Morocco has opted for harmonisation of standards at the international level and for mutual
recognition of national systems of certification.
Morocco has incorporated as national standards ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 standards, issued
by the International Standards Organisation.  These standards provide the basis of the Moroccansystem of company certification.  In addition, a sy stem of accreditation of conformity assessment
bodies on the basis of international and European standards in this area is under preparation.
5. Safeguards
Exceptional measures of limited duration which derogate from the tariff elimination schedule
may be taken by Morocco in the form of an increase or reintroduction of customs duties.  These
measures may only concern infant industries or certain sectors undergoing restructuring or facing
serious difficulties, particularly where these difficulties produce major social problems.
These measures shall be applied for a period not exceeding five years unless a longer duration
is authorised by the Association Committee.  They shall cease to apply at the latest on the expiry of
the maximum transitional period of 12 years.
The EC or Morocco may take appropriate measures, where the increase in imports of a
product occurs in such quantities and under such conditions as to cause or threaten to cause:
- serious injury to domestic producers of like or directly competitive products in the
territory of one of the Parties or
- serious disturbances in any sector of the economy or difficulties which could bring
about serious deterioration in the economic situation of a region.
In the selection of measures, priority shall be given to those which least disturb the
functioning of the Agreement.
In the case of serious balance of payment difficulties, or threat thereof, the Community or
Morocco may adopt for a limited period restricti ons on current transactions, in accordance with the
conditions established under the GATT and Articles VIII and XIV of the Articles of Agreement of theWT/REG112/3
Page 4
International Monetary Fund. These restrictions may not go beyond what is strictly necessary to
remedy the balance of payments situation.
6. Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Measures
If one of the Parties finds that dumping is taking place in its trade with the other Party, the EC
or Morocco may take appropriate measures in accordance with the WTO Agreement on
Implementation of Article VI of GATT 1994, its related internal legislation and respecting the
information exchange procedures established by the Agreement.
In the selection of measures, priority shall be given to those which least disturb the
functioning of the Agreement.
Concerning countervailing duties, if the Comm unity or Morocco considers that a particular
practice is incompatible with the provisions on state aid, it may take under certain circumstances
appropriate measures while respecting the information exchange procedures established by the
Agreement.  Such appropriate measures may, where the GATT applies thereto, only be adopted in
accordance with the procedures and under the conditions laid down by the General Agreement onTariffs and Trade, and any other relevant instrument negotiated under its auspices which is applicable
between the Parties.
7. Subsidies and State-Aid
Any official aid which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain
undertakings or the production of certain goods is incompatible except for derogations authorised by
virtue of the ECSC Treaty.  In this regard, Morocco is exceptionally authorised during the five years
after the entry into force of the Agreement to gran t State-aid for restructuring purposes in the steel
sector.
During this same period any State-aid granted by Morocco is assessed taking into account the
fact that Morocco is regarded as an area identical to those areas of the Community benefiting from aid
for development.
The Member States and Morocco shall progressively adjust, without affecting commitments
made under GATT, any state monopolies of a commercial character so as to ensure that, by the end of
the fifth year following the entry into force of th e Agreement, no discrimination exists regarding the
conditions under which goods are procured and marketed between nationals of the Member States and
of Morocco.
8. Sector-Specific Provisions
8.1 Textiles
In respect of those textiles and clothing products to which reference prices apply for import
into Morocco (see Section I.1 above), the reference prices are eliminated according to the following
schedule:
1. The reference prices are reduced to 75 per cent of the reference prices applied erga omnes , as
from entry into force of the Agreement.  The reductions to be applied at the beginning of the second
and third years after entry into force shall be fixed by the Association Council, but shall not be less
than 25 per cent.
2. The reference prices applied erga omnes  by Morocco shall be eliminated in respect of
products originating in the Community in accordance with the following timetable:WT/REG112/3
Page 5
- on entry into force, in respect of a quarter of the products to which they apply
- one year after entry into force, in respect of half of the products to which they apply
- two years after entry into force, in respect of three quarters of the products to which
they apply
- three years after entry into force all reference prices are eliminated
8.2 Agricultural and fisheries products
(a) Agricultural and fisheries products originating in Morocco benefit on import into the EC from
the provisions set out in Protocols Number 1 and 2 respectively.
For more than 240 tariff lines (8-digit tariff lin es, notably fruit and vegetables) originating in
Morocco customs duties are eliminated or reduced.  89 per cent of current EU imports from
Morocco are liberalised.  If account is also taken of EC customs duties liberalised on an erga
omnes  basis, 96 per cent of current EU imports from Morocco are liberalised.  For certain
products, customs duties are eliminated within th e limits of tariff quotas or in the framework
of reference quantities.
For all fish, crustacean and mollusc products originating in Morocco, customs duties are
eliminated.
(b) Agricultural products originating in the Comm unity benefit on import into Morocco from the
provisions set out in Protocol Number 3.  Morocco applies reduced customs duties to the
Community for 125 tariff lines, within the limits of tariff quotas.  For fish, crustacean and
mollusc products originating in the Community, Morocco applies MFN duty rates.
(c) The Agreement specifies that the EC and Morocco will gradually implement a greater
liberalisation of their trade in agricultural and fishery products.  To this end, the Agreement
provides that from 1 January 2000 the Community and Morocco will assess the situation of
their trade in agricultural products with a view to determining the liberalisation measures to
be applied by the Community and Morocco with effect from 1 January 2001.  The European
Commission received a negotiating mandate from the European Council for this purpose in
July 2000.  Negotiations are expected to start in the near future.
8.3 Processed agricultural products
The provisions on free movement of goods do not preclude the retention by the Community
of an agricultural component on imports of certain processed agricultural products originating in
Morocco.  Similarly, Morocco may specify a separa te agricultural component in the import duties in
force on the import of certain processed agricultural products originating in the Community.  The
provisions of Chapter II of the Agreement applicable to agricultural products apply mutatis mutandis
to these agricultural components.WT/REG112/3
Page 6
III. GENERAL PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT
1. Exceptions and Reservations
The Agreement does not preclude prohibitions or restrictions on imports, exports or goods in
transit justified on grounds of public morality, public policy, public security, the protection of healthand life of humans, animals or plants, the protection of national treasures of artistic, historic or
archaeological value or the protection of intellectual and commercial property or rules relating to gold
and silver.
A contracting party may take measures it considers necessary for its security and defence, in
the event of serious internal disturbances, in time of war or serious international tension.
3. Dispute Settlement Procedures
Either Party may refer to the Association Council any dispute relating to the application or
interpretation of the Agreement: differences are settled by means of a decision.
In the contrary case, either Party may notify th e appointment of an arbitrator to the other
Party, which must then appoint a second arbitrator within two months.
The Association Council shall appoint a third arbitrator.  The arbitrators’ decisions are taken
by majority vote.
4. Relation with other Trade Agreements
(a) The Agreement does not preclude the maintenance or establishment of customs
unions, free trade areas or arrangements for frontier trade insofar as they do not have
the effect of altering the trade arrangements provided for in the Agreement.
(b) The Agreement provides for consultations between the Parties in the Association
Committee concerning agreements establishing customs unions or free trade areas
and, where appropriate, on other major issues related to their respective trade policies
with third countries.  In particular, in the event of EU Enlargement, such
consultations should take place to ensure that account is taken of the mutual interests
of the Community and Morocco stated in the Agreement.
5. Institutional Provisions
An Association Council, meeting at Ministerial level at least once a year, examines any
significant problems arising in the framework of the Agreement; an Association Committee is
responsible for management of the Agreement and areas for which the Association Council has
delegated power to it.
6. Duration
The Agreement is concluded for an unlimited period.  Either Party may denounce the
Agreement by notifying the other Party.  Six months after such notification the Agreement would
cease to apply.WT/REG112/3
Page 7
7. Previous Agreements
From its entry into force, the Association Agreement replaced the Co-operation Agreement
between the European Community and the Kingdom  of Morocco and the Agreement between the
Member States of the European Coal and Steel Community and the Kingdom of Morocco signed on
25 April 1976.
IV. OTHER
Provisions on Right of Establishment and Services
The Parties agree to widen the scope of the Agreement to cover the right of establishment of
one Party’s firms on the territory of the other and liberalisation of the provision of services by one
Party’s firms to consumers of services in the othe r.  The Agreement specifies that the Association
Council shall make the necessary recommendations for the implementation of this objective and
further that the Council should make a first assessment of the achievement of this objective no later
than five years after the Agreement enters into force.
Intellectual, Industrial and Commercial Property Rights
The Agreement commits the Parties to provid ing and ensuring suitable and effective
protection of intellectual, industrial and commerci al property rights in line with the highest
international standards.  To this end, the agreement identifies a number of relevant multilateral
conventions, to which Morocco should accede by the end of the fourth year after entry into force of
the Agreement.  In addition, the Parties confirm the importance they attach to the obligations arisingfrom certain other relevant multilateral conventions, to which they are both already Party.  If any
difficulties arise in this area affecting trade, the Parties agree to consult bilaterally in the Association
Committee in order to resolve them.
Public Procurement
The Agreement sets as a common objective a reciprocal and gradual liberalisation of public
procurement contracts and provides that the Association Council shall take the steps necessary to
implement this objective.
Co-operation
The Agreement is not limited to the establishment of a free-trade area but also establishes a
partnership between the two Parties with the ob jective of supporting Morocco’s own efforts to
achieve sustainable economic and social development.  This co-operation is targeted at areas of
activity affected by the process of liberalising Morocco’s economy and more particularly by the
liberalisation of trade between Morocco and the European Community.
This co-operation involves economic co-operation in a broad sense covering a large number
of areas, social co-operation concerning Moroccan workers, cultural co-operation as well as financial
co-operation implemented particularly in the framework of the MEDA programme.WT/REG112/3
