BRUSSELS, Aug 28 (Reuter) - The European Union's fisheries

commissioner, Emma Bonino, said on Monday talks with Morocco on

a new fishing accord had collapsed and she would propose that

the EU review its relations with Rabat.

She told reporters that Morocco had rejected the European

Commission's final offer on an agreement to allow mainly Spanish

boats to return to Moroccan waters.

"I don't have other gestures to make," Bonino said.

The Commission proposed on Sunday that EU catches of octopus

and squid -- one of the key issues of an accord -- be cut by 25

percent over three years instead of 21 percent.

Morocco has demanded a 65 percent cut.

The Commission also wanted Morocco to agree to start

drafting language on fishing controls and technical aspects

where the two sides had made progress.

Bonino said she found it unacceptable that Morocco was still

refusing to put anything in writing.

"I am going to ... propose to the (Commission) that it make

a full examination of relations between the EU and Morocco," she

said.

The EU is now negotiating a trade and cooperation accord

with Morocco.

Bonino said she would also explore ways to mobilise funds to

aid Spanish and Portuguese fishermen affected by the absence of

an accord.

The EU and Morocco have made five previous attempts to agree

a new fish accord, with the most recent round lasting five

months.
