Det budskab, som formandskabet ønskede at fremføre under dette besøg, som fandt sted den 3. oktober sidste år, var, at handlingsplanen for Marokko var resultatet af en indsats, som oprindelig blev indledt af medlemsstaterne og Kommissionen, og at det nu var på tide at anmode de marokkanske partnere om deres reaktioner og foretage de nødvendige justeringer af handlingsplanen, således at man kunne gennemføre den i fællesskab.
The message which the presidency wished to get across during this visit, which took place on 3 October last year, was that the action plan for Morocco was the result of work originally started by the Member States and the Commission and that it was now time to ask for the reactions of the Moroccan parties and to make the necessary adjustments of the action plan so that it could be implemented jointly.
