European commission grants Morocco 110 million ECU in assistance

The European Commission granted Morocco 110 Million ECU financial assistance that will enable the Kingdom to carry out several health and educational projects in the rural zones.

The European Union assistance, part of the Meda program set in favor of southern Mediterranean countries, is destined to prop up Morocco's social and economic development process.

The assistance will serve to improve the quality of Moroccan products, back the private sector and fund various greening and environment protection projects.

The grant accords were signed Wednesday in Rabat by Moroccan Finance Minister Fathallah Oualalou and Deputy Director of Foreign Relations at the European commission Comez Reino.
