Visiting Brussels, Spain’s Secretary of State for Migration Consuelo Rumi has urged the European executive to grant Morocco, before March, the 140 million euros.
Brussels is currently hosting the meeting of foreign affairs ministers of the African Union and the European Union, which is attended by a Polisario delegation. This move comes after Morocco has tried everything to ban the representatives of the separatist movement from making it to international meetings.
After it threatened to seek the Court of Justice of the European Union to cancel the EU-Morocco agricultural agreement amended last week by the European Parliament, the Polisario Front sent a letter to the President of the UN Security Council.
On the 4th of January, the Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighborhood Policy announced that the EU has already granted Morocco €70 million to Morocco to address irregular migration. Visiting Morocco on Thursday, Federica Mogherini promised that the Kingdom will receive €110 million soon.
The European Parliament agreed, Wednesday, to extend tariff preferences to products originating from Western Sahara in the framework of the EU-Morocco association agreement. The decision comes as the Polisario threatened to seek the CJEU.
