EU-Morocco trade deals in Western Sahara ruled invalid, Rabat claims ‘bias’

Morocco slams ECJ ruling that said the people of Western Sahara were not consulted before the 2019 deals were signed.

The European Union’s top court has confirmed an earlier ruling cancelling trade deals that allow Morocco to export fish and farm products to the EU from the disputed Western Sahara region, a move Morocco slammed as “blatant political bias”.

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) on Friday ruled that the European Commission breached the right of people in Western Sahara to self-determination by concluding trade deals with Morocco.

The Commission said it would examine the ECJ judgement in detail, while Morocco condemned it.
