CJEU ruling : Portugal reaffirms EU-Morocco partnership

Portugal has reaffirmed the «fundamental» strategic partnership between the European Union and Morocco, reiterating its commitment to working with European partners and institutions to deepen the relationship in all areas.

In a statement following the European Court of Justice's (CJEU) decision on the EU-Morocco fisheries and agriculture agreements, the Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized the importance of the EU-Morocco partnership and Portugal's intention to strengthen it.
