Giving a presentation on the draft bill before the members of the Committee, the Minister delegate for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Mbarka Bouaida said that this protocol sets the means and conditions of relations between the two parties in terms of sea fisheries so as to serve national interests, support political ties with the EU and its members and to ensure the sustainability of the fisheries resources of the Kingdom.
