Morocco participates in the first meeting of the joint committee of experts and representatives of Justice and Interior ministries, as well as competent authorities of Arab countries, which kicked off on Sunday in Cairo.
The Kingdom is represented at this two-day meeting, organized by the Arab League’s Legal Affairs Department, by a delegation including Hicham Harrak, head of the Directorate of Criminal Affairs, Pardons and Crime Monitoring at the Ministry of Justice, and representatives of the General Directorate for National Security.
Speaking on this occasion, Harrak said the meeting takes place in application of the decisions taken by the Council of Arab Justice Ministers, notably during the last session held in Morocco, which called for examining the proposal related to the draft agreement on personal data protection.
In a statement to MAP, he stressed that this agreement, which meets to the needs related to trade exchanges and the economic and technological development experienced by the Arab region, includes several provisions linked to the processing of data, laws and obligations of each party to protect these data.
He added that the Moroccan delegation submitted some formal and substantive observations related to the draft agreement.
For her part, Director of Legal Affairs Department at the Arab League, Maha Bakhit, underlined that Morocco has significant constitutional experience embodied by the Personal Data Protection Authority and that, from this point of view, it will contribute to enriching the discussion to reach an agreement on the draft agreement.
She added that this meeting is the first of its kind held by the joint committee of representatives of Justice and Interior ministries to examine the draft Arab agreement on personal data protection.
