After months of waiting, the European Commission has finally responded, following Morocco’s demand on November 25, 2024, by taking steps to address the October 4, 2024 rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), which excluded Western Sahara from EU–Morocco agreements.
Following recent rulings from the European Court of Justice (CJEU) annulling Morocco-EU fishing and agricultural agreements, Spanish Minister Luis Planas visited Rabat, emphasizing the importance of moving forward with Morocco despite the decisions. Planas expressed optimism about finding constructive solutions through EU-Morocco cooperation and reaffirmed the strength of their relationship, built on mutual trust and shared goals for the future.
