Morocco does not feel “referred to” by the CJEU and “demands” that the EU respect trade and fishing agreements

MADRID 4 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Government of Morocco has stated that it does not consider itself “in any way affected” by the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) that annuls the trade and fishing agreements and has “demanded” that the EU and its Member States “adopt the necessary measures to respect the commitments” signed, taking into account the “strategic” alliance between both parties.

The Moroccan Foreign Ministry has stated in a statement that Rabat has not participated in the judicial process, placing the EU “on one side” of the board and, on the other, the Polisario Front, from whom precisely the appeal that has ended began. for overturning the two agreements this Friday.

“Morocco has not participated in any of the phases of the procedure and, therefore, does not consider itself affected in any way by the decision” of the European court, according to the note collected by the official MAP news agency.

However, he has criticized the content of the ruling, since Rabat understands that it makes “obvious legal errors” and “suspicious” analysis. “At best, it denotes a total ignorance of the realities of the dossier, if not a flagrant political bias,” he added.

The Moroccan Government, which believes that the CJEU seeks to “replace” the UN bodies responsible for this territorial dispute, has made it clear that at no time will it sign any agreement “that does not respect its territorial integrity and national unity”, within which places Western Sahara.

In his note, he sends a direct warning to the European Council, the European Commission and the EU Member States, to respect the commitments, “preserve the progress of the common partnership” and provide the Alawite kingdom “with the legal security to which has the right.”
