Mobility Partnership between Morocco and the EU

Morocco's Mobility Partnership with the European Union (EU) seeks to better inform Moroccans about legal options for migration to the EU and to support Moroccan efforts, including with capacity-building, to prevent irregular migration and combat trafficking and smuggling networks. It aims to improve the exchange of information between Morocco and the EU and cooperation on the administrative, operational and technical levels to identify and dismantle such networks. The agreement also provides for cooperation to support “the socioeconomic development of regions with high migration potential”, and information exchange and technical cooperation on border management as well as an agreement to strengthen asylum authorities in Morocco, developing asylum legislation and protecting refugees.
