LUXEMBOURG, Oct 26 (Reuter) - Fisheries Commissioner Emma Bonino said on Thursday she hoped a new fisheries agreement could be concluded with Morocco very quickly.

"I hope it will be finished in one or two days," Bonino told reporters on entering a meeting of fisheries ministers.

After announcing a political compromise with Morocco on October 13, Bonino had hoped to be able to present a text to Thursday's Fisheries Council but was thwarted by problems in separate negotiations for a trade and cooperation accord.

Bonino said work was continuing in Brussels on drafting the fisheries text.

The Spanish president of the Fisheries Council, Luis Atienza, said the fish deal might take a little longer.

"I hope it will be done in the coming days," he told

reporters.

Neither Bonino nor Atienza gave any indication whether problems had been resolved over proposed farm trade concessions to Morocco.

But EU sources said a number of member states continued to block Commission offers to import more cut flowers, tomatoes and potatoes from Morocco at a meeting of COREPER in Brussels on Wednesday.

The issue is now expected to be referred to the General Afffairs Council on Monday to get a political commitment to find a solution. One major sticking point is Germany's refusal to allow the EU to increase imports of cut flowers and exotic flowers from Morocco to 5,000 tonnes, from 2,000 tonnes.

Sources note that Germany, which accounts for 60 percent of EU cut-flower imports, recently agreed imports of 21,000 tonnes of cut flowers from Israel under a similar trade and cooperation deal.

Belgium and the Netherlands are said to be blocking an offer for the EU to import an extra 20,000 tonnes of tomatoes to around 150,000 tonnes annually and to extend the importing season to October/April, from November/March.

Sources said the underlying problem was a growing battle for the EU single market between northern and southern member states with Spain planning to triple intra-EU exports to one million tonnes in the next five years.

The potato problem is also seen as largely political as the quantity is relatively small at around 5,000 tonnes annually.

Germany, the largest EU potato consumer, is resisting the offer. Portugal is baulking at EU zero duty imports of some 20,000 tonnes of Moroccan sardines annually, sources added.

Farm ministers expressed concern on Wednesday at the proposed agricultural trade concessions which they said went beyond the Commission's negotiating mandate.
