DESERTEC Industrial Initiative Dii put on hold

Dii First cooperation project between Morocco and EU member states has been put on hold after Spain balked the official agreement signing.  Besides, one of the biggest industrial supporters at the founding stage of the initiative “Bosch” announced its withdrawal from the project few weeks after Siemens backed out. Despite these challenges, Dii officials confirmed that the withdrawal of individual partners doesn’t jeopardize the project instead they are confident that the number of associate partners will rise by the end of the year. Also, Dii CEO Paul van assured his confidence in EU and Morocco negotiators to convince Spain to change its position soon.
