An economic gateway to Europe and the Mediterranean, Morocco is part of the Euromed cooperation, a collaboration between the EU and 16 of its closest neighbours across North Africa and the oil-rich Middle East. Its own oil production stood at almost 4,000 barrels per day in 2010.

GABON
The nation's economy benefited greatly from the discovery of offshore oil reserves in the 1970s, which bolstered the existing trades in timber and manganese. Petroleum extraction and refining remains a major contributor to Gabon's annual income.
