One of the initiatives introduced under the umbrella of this Process is the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EMP). Central to this Partnership is the creation of Free Trade agreements between the Community and each MS, and similar agreements between the MS themselves.The aim of this research is to assess the effects of the Free Trade Agreements on the econo¬mies of the signatory countries Tunisia and Morocco from 1995 to 2017 and at¬tempts to explain eventual differences or similarities.
