The Arab Mediterranean Free Trade Agreement (FTA) was initiated in Agadir (Morocco) in 2001 by four Arab Mediterranean countries: Jordan, Tunisia, Morocco, and Egypt.

The main objective of the Arab Mediterranean Free Trade Agreement is to establish a free-trade area between Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Jordan, and the European Union.

The Agadir Agreement creates a free trade zone of 120 million consumers.

The objectives of the Arab Mediterranean Free Trade Agreement are:
