In particular, these entities reported the existing dark ages during the process, taking into account the frequent meetings between the Almeria fruit and vegetable sector and the representatives of the Ministry of agriculture and fisheries, over the past months. The President of the Association of companies Cosecheras - export of products Hortofrutícolas of Almeria (Coexphal), Manuel Galdeano, has recognized ignore the magnitude of the situation. The Coexphal spokesman emphasised that give more concessions to the Alaouite Kingdom will go "in" "detrimental to the Almeria agriculture". Galdeano has also declared out of the free trade that requires Morocco, if set a higher quota in the Treaty being bad, it will not both "when met it", something that does not actually happen as well. For example, tomato producers already reported to the Office to combat the fraud of the European Union, a non-payment of EUR 24 million whose procedure follows its course.
