Agadir Agreement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Agadir Agreement for the Establishment of a Free Trade Zone between the Arabic Mediterranean Nations was signed in Rabat, Morocco on 25 February 2004. The agreement aims at establishing a free trade area between Jordan, Tunisia, Egypt and Morocco and it is seen as a possible first step in the establishment of the Euro-Mediterranean free trade area envisaged in the Barcelona Process. The Agreement could also be the stepping stone to the formation of a future Greater Arab Free Trade Area.
Lebanon and Syria expressed their interest to join the Agreement, which has not been fully implemented so far. Other potential adherents are Algeria, Libya, Mauritania and the Palestinian Authority.
