Abstract EN:

THE ENTRANCE OF SPAIN AND PORTUGAL INTO THE EEC HAS strengthENED THE AGRICULTURE OF THESE TWO COUNTRIES, AND MORE PARTICULARLY THE PRODUCTION OF THE MEDITERRANEAN PRODUCTS. THIS NEW SITUATION HAS REINFORCED THE MOROCCAN AUTHORITIES ANXIETY. IN THIS CONTEXT, A QUESTION CAN BE ASKED ABOUT THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL EFFECTS OF THE EUROPEAN INTEGRATION. THE MOROCCAN EXPORTS TOWARDS THE EEC ARE INDEED DIRECTLY CHALLENGED BY THE SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE PRODUCTS ; MOREOVER, THESE LAST TWO MEMBERS OF THE EEC, HAVE SEVERAL ADVANTAGES OVER MOROCCO AND MORE PARTICULARLY : FREE MOVEMENT OF GOODS WITHIN THE EEC I. E. BETWEEN ALL THE MEMBER STATES ; THE COMMUNITY PREFERENCE FOR THE EEC PRODUCTS ; THE FINANCIAL SOLIDARITY BETWEEN THE EEC MEMBERS; THE WIDENING OF THE EEC ENTAILS AT LEAST THREE ECONOMIC CHANGES WITHIN THE EEC : EEC SELF SUFFICIENCY FOR THE SO CALLED MEDITERRANEAN GOODS ; AN UNAVOIDABLE REARRANGEMENT OF THE COMMERCIAL LINKS BETWEEN THE EEC AND THE MEDITERRANEAN COUNTRIES AND THE EUROPEAN SOLIDARITY BETWEEN THE MEMBER COUNTRIES AND THE FINANCIAL STAKES OF THE C. A. P. FACED WITH THESE CHANGES, THE MOROCCAN ECONOMY IS CHARACTERIZED BY A DEGREE OF PERMEABILITY TO CONJONCTURAL AND OR STRUCTURAL INTERNAL AND OR EXTERNAL PHENOMENA WHICH DON'T LET US EXPECT A BETTER FUTURE.
