    WRITTEN QUESTION E-0118/98 by Jesús Cabezón Alonso (PSE) to the Council (30 January 1998)

    Subject: Fisheries agreement with Morocco: biological rest period

    Does the planned extension of the biological rest period for the fishing fleet decided on by the Kingdom of Morocco, which goes beyond that provided for in the current Fisheries Agreement between Morocco and the European Union, have the express approval of the Fisheries Ministers of all the Member States?

    Answer (30 March 1998)

    The reply to this question is in the negative.

    At its meeting on 18/19 December 1997, the Council was briefed by the Commission on the difficulties experienced in applying the Fisheries Agreement with the Kingdom of Morocco. The Council expressed considerable concern on this issue and asked the Commission to press on with its efforts to guarantee compliance with the undertakings entered into.
