Morocco is one of the partners of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (Euromed) that promotes economic integration and democratic reform across 10 neighbours to the EU’s south in North Africa and the Middle East. One important part of this work is to achieve mutually satisfactory trading terms for the Euromed region partners.

Morocco is part of the Agadir Agreement with Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia. All parties are committed to removing all tariffs on trade between them and to harmonize their legislation with regard to standards and customs procedures.

Morocco was the first Mediterranean country to have adopted the Pan-Euro-Mediterranean system of origin identification in December 2005. The system makes it simpler to import products manufactured in more than one country throughout the Mediterranean basin and has generated new opportunities for economic operators in Morocco. It is also an important spur for further regional economic integration in the whole Mediterranean area. Following the signature of the single regional convention on Pan-Euro-Mediterranean rules of origin on 1 June 2011, rules of origin are under revision in order to simplify and adapt them to technological changes.

In this way, Morocco has free trade agreements, opened up free trade zones and created availability and facilities for being the opening gate of North Africa to the world and the worlds to North Africa.
