The Moroccan government council passed a draft law today, introducing a set of changes to the legislation framing fair competition in Morocco, during this week’s council meeting.

According to the Government’s press release, the legislation aims to check aspects related to the procedure for processing applications to the national competition board for referrals related to anti-competitive practices.

The new draft also outlines changes to the board’s policy and procedures related to hearings of parties concerned with investigation interests.

The legislative amendment additionally lists new requirements related to the rules for determining financial penalties and checking the term within which the Competition Council must take its decision after the completion of the discussion sessions, in addition to enabling the concerned parties, the president of the council and the government representative to file an appeal against a court decision.

The Moroccan Government was also informed of an international agreement in the form of an exchange of letters between the Kingdom of Morocco and France, pertaining to Moroccan-French international channels.

During its weekly meeting this Thursday, March 31, the Minister of Trade and Industry presented the letters to the Government, on behalf of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

The bilateral agreement, signed in Rabat on September 7, 2021, and in Paris on October 6, 2021, concerns the final cycles leading to the “International French Baccalaureate” and the “General Baccalaureate.”

The agreement is “for the benefit of the Network of French educational institutions established in Morocco,” said the Minister Delegate for Relations with Parliament and Government Spokesman, Mustapha Baitas.
