<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"It is widely known that, in 1999, the Council devised an action plan for Morocco relating to the emigration of Africans to the EU Member States. The plan took a consistent, comprehensive approach to the issue and proposed a series of measures designed to enable clear-sighted action to be taken in response to the social and economic problems which could stem from such emigration.  What does the Council think of Morocco's implementation of the action plan at a time when significant numbers of immigrants are arriving in the Canary Islands, an outlying part of the European Union which is very close to the African continent?"
