The Municipal People's Party submitted a motion to the full City Council of Totana, to be held on Thursday October 29 to demand that the National Government to take necessary actions to prevent the European Parliament ratifies the new treaty draft import EU-Morocco horticulture.
Also, through this proposal, we urge the Government of Spain to reject the proposed new treaty, at least until it is guaranteed to force Morocco to respect the maximum quotas that are set to export and minimum prices those who must sell, for its low fares do not prevent export and market tomatoes in the Region of Murcia.
In this sense, the popular local group's spokesman, Josefa María Sánchez Méndez, recalled that in recent weeks has generated great concern regarding the measures and actions that the National Government intends to implement in order to reject draft new EU-Morocco treaty.
"The agricultural and horticultural organizations exporters in the region of Murcia have been the outcry to prevent the influx of Moroccan tomatoes in the EU, because death would be economic and labor of the producers and exporters of tomato Region Murcia, "said Sanchez Mendez.
Therefore, the popular mayor said that "if Parliament ratified the new draft treaty, as currently drafted, will seriously threaten the business of the Murcia tomato growers."
So he said that the treaty violates any conditions imposed on the partnership agreements that have been subscribing since 1995, both in terms of quantity and price lists established for this.
If Morocco and has acted with complete freedom and impunity tariff when entering your tomatoes in the EU without a stick or the maximum amounts set for export, or minimum prices that must be sold now as claimed by Sanchez Mendez with the ratification of the new draft treaty, will increase its import quotas tomato and at the same time, will greatly reduce their tariffs to the detriment and unfair competition with businesses producing and exporting region tomato Murcia.
