Speech from the Throne of March 4th, 1985
The European Community's response was very courteous to us. I did not read between the lines, the word "No".

Morocco and Europe since 1999
The accession of Morocco (to the European Union) is dictated by reason, geography and the daily realities of economic, social and cultural life in our countries.
Royal Message of March 20th, 2000
We are pleased that Morocco's vocation as an emerging economy converges with its strategic ambition to build a common economic space with the European Union. To serve this purpose, Morocco advocates going beyond the mere establishment of a free trade area.
