The Kingdom of Morocco considers itself in no way concerned by the European Union Court of Justice's Friday ruling on the agricultural and fisheries agreements, the Kingdom was not involved in any phase of the proceedings.

Morocco is not a party to this case, which concerns the European Union on the one hand, and the Algeria-backed '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.

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

The Court has even allowed itself to take the place of the competent UN bodies, contradicting their well-established positions and approaches. Moreover, the British High Court had, on a completely similar case, shown more discernment, impartiality and legal mastery.

Morocco demands that the Council, the European Commission and the EU Member States take the necessary measures to respect their international commitments, preserve the achievements of the partnership and provide the Kingdom with the legal certainty to which it is legitimately entitled, as a partner of the EU on several strategic issues.

In this context, Morocco reiterates its constant position not to subscribe to any agreement or legal instrument that does not respect its territorial integrity and national unity.
