How to move EU-Morocco trade relations forward following ECJ ruling
MEPs will debate with the Foreign Affairs Committee and the EP Maghreb Delegation the impact of the European Court of Justice ruling on trade relations with Morocco. Last December, the ECJ set aside the 2015 judgement to freeze the EU-Morocco trade deal covering trade in agricultural and fishery products. The 2016 ruling finds the agreement not to be applicable to Western Sahara, where a smaller part of the territory is controlled by the Front Polisario, a movement which seeks independence and whose legitimacy has been recognized by the United Nations. This debate can be
followed on-line.
