Chris Patten, External Relations Commissioner, attended the signing ceremony of the Free Trade Agreement between Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco on 25 February 2004. This agreement, known as the Agadir Agreement, is a crucial step towards the envisaged creation of a Euro-Mediterranean free trade area by 2010. The Commission has been one of the main political supporters of this initiative since the Agadir Declaration was signed in May 2001 and it is also supporting it with a €4 million programme funded under MEDA. |
