Morocco not impacted by ECJ decision on Agriculture and Fisheries Agreement

Following the European Union Court of Justice’s Friday ruling on the agricultural and fisheries agreements between EU and Morocco, The Kingdom of Morocco considers itself in no way concerned by, since the Kingdom was not involved in any phase of the proceedings, according to the official statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates of Morocco.

Morocco is not a party to this case, which concerns the European Union on the one hand, and ‘polisario’ on the other. Morocco did not take part in any of the procedural phases and, consequently, does not consider itself in any way concerned by the decision, the ministry said.

Nevertheless, the content of this decision contains obvious legal inaccuracies and suspicious errors of fact. This denotes, at best, a total ignorance of the case’s realities, if not a blatant political bias.
