For that reason Morocco refused to sign the EU agreement on the movement of persons, added Otmani speaking before the House of Councillors (upper house) of Parliament.

He said, however, that despite that the document contains provisions that his country considered inappropriate, his government will sign “when conditions are suitable.”
