EU announces new support for economic development in Morocco

The European Commission Thursday announced the first part of its agenda in 2013 for Morocco. This program, a total of 110 million euro, is the commitment of the European Union for economic and social development in Morocco. "Our support for these two major areas of socio-economic reforms allows us to contribute to a more inclusive growth in line with the commitments made by the EU to its Moroccan partner line with the new approach of the European Neighbourhood Policy", said Stefan Fule, EU Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy, in a statement. "These actions are also designed to meet the needs of the Moroccan population regarding the redistribution of growth in Morocco," he added.
