MOROCCO, THE GATE OF NORTH AFRICA
Morocco has free trade agreements, opened up free trade zones and creates any availability and facilities for being the opening gate of North Africa to the world and vice versa.
Morocco is part of the Agadir Agreement with Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia. All parties 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 cumulation of origin 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.
