The European Commission passed on the agricultural draft agreement with Morocco to the Council of Ministers and to the European Parliament for approval.
If everything takes place without delay, the official signature of the agreement could intervene from April 2011 and come into effect in summer 2011.
Procedure is in progress. The European Commission passed on to the Parliament which has to express its opinion. But the Parliament has the power only to adopt or throw back, and cannot modify contents. Protests of the French and Spanish representatives are expected.
