Lord Trefgarne – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Trefgarne on 2016-09-06.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the nature of the agreement between Morocco and the EU; and in particular whether Morocco has access to the European single market.

Baroness Anelay of St Johns

Morocco’s relationship with the EU is framed through the EU’s European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). Their relationship covers political and economic cooperation as well as trade and technical assistance. Morocco does not have full access to the European Single Market, but a free trade area established in the 2002 EU-Morocco Association Agreement allows for easier trade in goods between Morocco and the EU.
