France Asks European Commission to Examine Algeria's Non-Compliance with Partnership Agreement
France will request the European Commission to investigate Algeria's failure to comply with its EU partnership agreement, following reports of import restrictions and halted urea shipments.
French Foreign Ministry spokesperson Pascal Confavreux said on Friday that Paris will ask the European Commission to examine the circumstances of Algeria's non-compliance with the partnership agreement concluded with the European Union.
Diplomats told Reuters in October that Algeria had imposed a near-total ban on French imports in late July, and they also learned last month of instructions from Algeria to suspend urea shipments to France.
Confavreux stated at a press conference that the partnership agreement with the European Union "provides for the possibility of taking appropriate measures in case of non-compliance."
He added, "We are asking the Commission to immediately examine the conditions for activating these measures."
