Moroccan-Dutch Agreement on Social Security: a Moroccan Delegation in The Netherlands

Friday, 05 December 2014

Rabat (Map)- An official delegation from the Moroccan House of Representatives will travel to the Netherlands in the next few days in order to review the Dutch government's position regarding joint agreements between the two countries and their impact on the Moroccan community.

This comes after Dutch media reports suggested that the government of the Netherlands is planning to call off the 1972 Moroccan-Dutch agreement on social security.

Last month, Morocco's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Salaheddine Mezouar called his Dutch counterpart Frans Timmermansm and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Social Affairs and Employment Frans Lodewijk Asscher, to express Morocco's deep disappointment and total rejection of this decision.

Morocco, which reiterated its determination to protect and defend the interests of Moroccan nationals living in the Netherlands to mobilize all means to this end, hoped that the Dutch government will reconsider this decision and engage in dialogue in order to reach a satisfactory solution for all parties, said a statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation.
