EU/Morocco Euro-Mediterranean Aviation Agreement

The European Parliament adopted by 511 votes to 112, with 40 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the draft Council decision on the conclusion, on behalf of the Union, of the Euro-Mediterranean Aviation Agreement between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Kingdom of Morocco, of the other part.

Following the recommendation of its Committee on Transport and Tourism, the European Parliament gave its consent to the conclusion of the agreement.

As a reminder, this agreement aims to open markets and to move towards the alignment of aviation legislation on both sides, in particular around key aspects of European rules on aviation, including those concerning safety, economic regulation and, in particular, competition, air traffic control and consumer protection.  It also contains provisions concerning bilateral investment on both sides of the Mediterranean.
