ECJ: MEPs Outraged by Decision ‘Undermining European Economic Interests’
Saturday 5 October 2024 - 09:49

Members of the European Parliament on Friday expressed their outrage at the rulings of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on the fisheries and agricultural agreements between the EU and Morocco, noting that the decision “undermines European economic interests.”

The ECJ gave in to the claims of “Polisario Front terrorists” over the Sahara and “undermined European and Moroccan economic interests,” while violating “the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Morocco,” reacted French MEP Nicolas Bay, Vice-President of the European Parliament’s delegation to the Africa-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly, on the social network X.

“Morocco remains the EU’s most reliable partner in North Africa and its sole interlocutor on all political and trade issues,” commented MEP Tomáš Zdechovský, from the European People’s Party (EPP) group in the European Parliament.

He added that “polisario” is a “threat to stability and security in the EU’s vicinity.”

“A sad day for Europe,” wrote, for his part, MEP Thierry Mariani, adding that the entire world has understood that the Sahara is Moroccan, “except the ECJ.”
