Article 48
1. Cooperation will be targeted first and foremost at areas of activity suffering the effects of internal constraints and difficulties or affected by the process of liberalising Algeria's economy as a whole, and more particularly by the liberalisation of trade between Algeria and the Community. 2. Similarly, cooperation shall focus on areas likely to bring the economies of the Community and Algeria closer together, particularly those which will generate growth and employment, and foster the development of trade flows between Algeria and the Community, notably by encouraging the diversification of Algerian exports. 3. Cooperation shall foster economic integration within the Maghreb group of countries using any measures likely to further such relations within the region. 4. Preservation of the environment and ecological balances shall constitute a central component of the various fields of economic cooperation. 5.
