Undersea Tunnel
In another related development, the Moroccan government is seeking funding to a 14km-long undersea tunnel between the country and Europe via Gibraltar.
The idea was tabled 20 years ago by late King Al-Hasan II during a visit to Spain for talks with King Juan Carlos.
According to Spanish media, the tunnel would help bring in millions of tourists from across Europe to the country.
The tourism sector is Morocco's main foreign currency earner, with revenues totaling around six billion US dollars in 2004. |
