Recruitment Agreement between the Federal Republic of Germany and Morocco
The recruitment agreement between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Kingdom of Morocco was signed on May 21, 1963 ( Cabinet Adenauer V ) and, in spite of the contrary contractual arrangement (limitation of the duration of stay to a maximum of two years, so-called rotation principle ), led to the start of Moroccan immigration to the Federal Republic Germany. The recruited workers were called guest workers in Germany . 22,400 Moroccan guest workers came to Germany until the recruitment stop in 1973.
The Federal Republic of Germany also concluded similar recruitment agreements with other countries: Turkey , Greece , Italy , Yugoslavia , Portugal , Spain and Tunisia .
