Mapping out the scope and contents of the DCFTAs with Tunisia and Morocco

Korte inhoud:This paper explores the potential scope and contents of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Areas (DCFTAs) that the EU is envisaging with Morocco and Tunisia. It reviews the current framework of these countries’ trade relationship with the EU and assesses the key principles and mechanisms of the DCFTAs. Using a comparative approach, the author analyses the potential scope and contents of the Tunisia and Morocco DCFTAs in the light of similar pacts that the EU has recently concluded with Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia, scrutinising in particular the possible ‘deep’ and ‘comprehensive’ dimension of these trade deals. The impact of the General Court’s judgement of 10 December 2015 in Frente Polisario v. Council on the EU-Morocco DCFTA negotiations is also analysed.
