However, Sánchez’s message did not address certain critical issues concerning Ceuta and Melilla, Spain’s land borders with Morocco. There was no mention of the pending matter regarding the opening of commercial customs in these cities. Despite initial plans for the customs to open after the normalization of country relations following the events of May 2021, there has been no update on this issue. Border facilities have been adjusted for the implementation of customs, with several tests conducted, but there has been no recent news on progress.
Sánchez’s tweet did highlight the European Union’s increased collaboration with Morocco. The neighboring country remains a priority partner for the EU concerning challenges like irregular immigration and drug trafficking. Morocco and Spain continue extensive collaboration in these areas, particularly in the Strait region.
