Spain’s Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Luis Planas Puchades, stressed on Friday in Cordoba that his country ”supports the European Union and Morocco in concluding a new fisheries protocol for the next four years”.
“Spain’s position is very clear”, said Planas in a statement to the Spanish media, describing as “positive and fruitful” the 5th session of the Joint Commission in charge of monitoring the Partnership Agreement in the field of sustainable fisheries between Morocco and the EU, held on Thursday in Brussels.
“Work will continue, particularly on research and technical issues, to make progress and enable us to conclude the new protocol as quickly as possible,” added the Spanish official.
He noted that “the agreement’s structural support measures have worked well”, while “scientific and technical research is continuing with a view to the future of the agreement”.
Planas said he was “optimistic” and hoped that “this downtime will last as short as possible”.
