Legislative Progress in Berkane: Presentation on Activating the Principle of Administrative Silence

In compliance with the supreme royal directives aimed at enabling citizens to conduct their affairs under the best conditions and within the shortest timeframes, simplifying procedures, and bringing basic infrastructure and services closer to them.

As part of the efforts to adapt the regulatory framework for construction permits and economic authorizations to the requirements of Law No. 55.19 on the simplification of administrative procedures, which has set maximum deadlines for processing requests from stakeholders to obtain the administrative decisions necessary for investment projects.

The province of Berkane organized, in the presence of the presidents of municipalities, the director of the National Electricity Office of Berkane, a representative from the Urban Agency of Oujda, a representative from the National Water Office of Berkane, as well as department and service heads of the municipalities, a presentation on activating the principle of administrative silence, considered as an approval, and setting deadlines for administrative decisions issued by the municipalities and districts concerned by this principle

The principle that the silence of the administration implies approval is a new legal procedure that obliges the Moroccan administration in general and the municipal administration in particular to interact with the stakeholder before the expiration of the legal deadlines set by a regulatory provision or to be subjected to an exceptional procedure allowing the regional official to replace the relevant municipal administration and provide the stakeholder with a certificate of administrative silence equivalent to approval.

It should be noted that the administrative decisions and services covered by this procedure include, according to the decision of the Minister of the Interior, seven decisions concerning land use planning, namely building permits, subdivision permits, authorization to create a housing group, property division authorization, occupancy permit/compliance certificate, repair permit, and demolition permit.

Furthermore, these decisions also periodically concern two decisions related to commercial, artisanal, and industrial activities, namely the operating license for an establishment classified in the second category and the operating license for an establishment classified in the third category.
