The exact signing date could not be pinned down from the primary source: the EIB press release (2026-232) reports the announcement, while Morocco World News (URL dated 2026/06) and Atalayar (published 30 June 2026, reporting Calviño's Morocco visit) place it in late June 2026, i.e. about five to six days before the 6 July 2026 session, so the 'five days' detail is approximately correct.
The €365 million is part of a larger EIB commitment of over €700 million for Morocco in 2026 and is composed of several operations, including EU grants (e.g. €15 million for ONCF railway rehabilitation), so '365 million more' is best understood as the newly signed transport-sector envelope, not the EIB's total 2026 Morocco exposure.
The EIB press release uses 'announced' while Morocco World News reports the agreements were 'signed'; secondary sources corroborate the signing.
