Morocco considers EU visa restrictions
The demand for visas for European citizens wishing to enter Morocco has been put on the table by Moroccan parliamentarians in an attempt to establish a principle of reciprocity in terms of mobility, according to Atalayar on March 4th.
Khaled Al-Satti and Lobna Alaoui, members of the Moroccan National Union of Workers in the Chamber of Councillors, have asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to consider this measure, arguing that European countries obtain significant income from the fees imposed on Moroccans, while Moroccans can enter the Kingdom without restrictions.
The request comes in a context of growing discontent over the difficulties Moroccans face in obtaining Schengen visas.
