The Moroccan Port Authority is presented as the best way to the export fruits and vegetable from Agadir

Moroccan International Chamber of Fruit and Vegetable exporters, organized SIFEL Fair 2008, and are being held this week in Agadir. The port of Algeciras Bay is shown in SIFEL as "the fastest way to cross the strait and penetrate the European market. The Spanish port authorities repeated this year their presence at this highly important event in which exhibitors share of over 30,000 square meters, with Spanish Ports operating companies, and telematics partner of the Port Authority of the Bay of Algeciras (APBA). In addition to the port authority responsible, several companies that operate with fresh produce in the port of Algeciras Bay have moved for this lucrative attracting business meeting such as: STA, and Transbull Algeciras Port Import & Export. Until the Moroccan city This Business fair has booked an area approximately about 30,000 square meters for international companies in which are installed a total of 400 exhibitors from various sectors. In its edition of last year was visited by over 40,000 people who passed through the various pavilions. Half of these visitors were businessmen and half foreign investors.

Morocco Launches Aerospace Center

Morocco has launched a project to host a major aerospacecenter in North Africa. EADS has begun construction of an aerospace industrial center for fixed-and rotary-wing civilian and military aircraft in Morocco. On Nov. 26, EADSSocata chief executive officer Jean-Michel Leonard laid the first stone forthe industrial center of EADS Socata's Moroccan subsidiary, Socaero. "We chose Morocco because of its geographical and cultural proximitywith our other sites, as well as for the local competencies -- particularlyin the aeronautical sector, along with the hosting conditions we werelooking for," Leonard said.By jalal Nali

Gibraltar Morocco in a joint scientific project

Since the beginning of 2003 a joint team from the General Secretary of the Gibraltar Ornithological & Natural History Society, the Gibraltar Botanic Gardens, the Scientific Institute of Rabat University and Tetouan University returned recently from southern Morocco where they carried out extensive ecological surveys as part of GIBMANATUR, the Interreg IIIA Gibraltar-Morocco European Union project.One of the tasks the team was involved in was investigating the distribution of a number of rare plants, and studying the possibility of propagating them in the Gibraltar Botanic Gardens. Already two new locations for a particular species formerly only know from one site, have been found. The botanical work also involves determining the status of a number of species, which is expected to result in the subsequent naming of several which are new to science.The work also involved a survey of bird distributions, and a study of invertebrates, mostly beetles, ants and land molluscs, where once again new discoveries are expected.This was the last activity in the GIBMANATUR programme, which began in 2003, but it is hoped that funds will be made available in the future for ecological and conservation work in Morocco to continue.

10 million beneficiaries of Moroccan Health Insurance after just three years of existence

The balance of the three years of compulsory Moroccan health insurance AMO (Obligatory Illness Insurance) was presented at the National Symposium of patients and health insurance held Tuesday in Casablanca on December the 2nd. The total number of beneficiaries of the AMO has reached more than 10 million beneficiaries including 3.2 million for the National Fund for Social Welfare Organizations (CNOPS) and 3.3 million for the National Social Security Fund (CNSS). Concerning the financial resources of the CNOPS, they have more than doubled from 1.4 billion to 3.2 billion DH between 2005 and 2008. As for the CNSS, (National Social Security) its financial resources have reached 2.1 billion DH in 2008 against 1.4 billion in 2006. Nearly 90% of the AMO are reserved to the private sector. The number of refundable drugs roses from 1001 to 2524 and appliances and medical devices from 172 to 869. Despite the advances experienced by the AMO, many barriers still hinder access to treatment for Moroccan patient suffering from serious diseases. From CNOPS where some drugs against serious diseases are unavailable to the CNSS forcing patients to pay in advance and get reimbursed thereafter through private insurance, which impose a ceiling. But the CNSS seems to ignore this fundamental right, "said Professor Driss Jamil, president of SOS hepatitis. Taking the case of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis, the CNSS does reimburse the 70%, but the remaining 30% are charged to the patient. How an employee who earns a monthly salary of 3000 DH can cover the costs of care that exceed 12,000DH per month?
Result: the sick who cannot afford to receive treatment on the ground are forced to abandon their treatment. "Is it unwise on the part of the CNSS to treat the disease in early stages, instead of being with enormous costs once complications installed?
Beside this, Morocco Remain in the best top three countries in Africa in Health Insurance.By jalal Nali

Eyelit's Award-winning Integrated Manufacturing Execution (MES) Suite Selected by Nemotek to Support Production Ramp in New State-Of-Art Moroccan

Eyelit's Award-winning Integrated Manufacturing Execution (MES) Suite Selected by Nemotek to Support Production Ramp in New State-Of-Art Moroccan Semiconductor Wafer Fab
Eyelit Continues Company Growth and Semiconductor MES Software Market Share Gain

TORONTO, Dec 11, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Eyelit, Inc., a manufacturing software provider for visibility, control, and coordination of manufacturing operations for the aerospace & defense, discrete electronics, semiconductor, and photovoltaic (solar) industries, announced today that Nemotek Technologie, a company that offers manufacturing and design services of wafer-level cameras, wafer-level Packaging and Wafer-Level Optics for many applications, selected Eyelit's manufacturing software suite to support production in its new wafer fab, located in Rabat, Morocco.
Nemotek expects to begin volume shipments of its Tessera technology-based offerings in April 2009, with a planned capacity at full volume between 80 and 100 million wafer-level optics stacks and 144,000 wafers for wafer-level packaging per year. The company plans to start delivering its wafer-level camera module demonstration system for customer evaluation in Q2 2009.
"Nemotek's prime objective is to offer world-class, wafer-level packaging and wafer-level-optics manufacturing services to its customers. We chose Eyelit MES solutions to provide our customers with the best production software available today in the market, one that enables us to guarantee real-time tracking of our production lots, equipment, and critical materials. It also includes real-time SPC capabilities to ensure constant parameter tracking and reaction to abnormal deviations. The CAPA module ensures the use of a proven quality process in case of out-of-control occurrences and all other quality outliers. Finally, we also wanted an MES solution that we could use to drive our factory to continuously achieve better performance," said Youssef Benmokhtar, Nemotek's Marketing and Business Development Director.
"Nemotek's selection of Eyelit is further validation of Eyelit's solution suite as an alternative to high-cost, toolkit-based or legacy-based MES solutions in the semiconductor market. Eyelit provides a significant, total-cost-of-ownership advantage. We do this with a modern, more efficient architecture, which requires less service investment and uses cost-effective hardware/software options, including open source alternatives like Linux. While photovoltaic (solar) is our fastest growing market segment, we are also gaining semiconductor share. Nemotek evaluated several leading MES solutions and concluded that Eyelit was the best fit for their new 200mm wafer fab," said Dan Estrada, Vice-President of Sales and Business Development at Eyelit, Inc.
