The two parties undertake to work together to implement the project on the basis of the principles described in the MoU, and will seek to achieve a full price of 4.5 DH excl. tax/m3.

The signing of this agreement, which is part of Moroccan-French cooperation, took place on the sidelines of the French President's State Visit to Morocco.
