TunisiaEU-Morocco Agriculture Agreement: European Court of Justice rejects “Polisario Front” appeal
December 21, 2016
Share on 
In a joint statement, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Federica Mogherini and the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Morocco Salahddine Mezouar take note of the European Court of Justice ruling on the Agriculture Agreement between Morocco and the EU, deeming the action for annulment brought by the Polisario Front to be inadmissible.
Both parties also note that the Court annuls the ruling of the EU’s General Court of 10 December 2015, which was challenged by the EU at the request of all the Member States.
The Court’s decision on the implementation of the EU-Morocco Agriculture Agreement remains in force. Both parties affirmed that they will examine all possible implications of the Court’s ruling and will work together on any issue relating to its implementation, in the spirit of the EU-Morocco privileged partnership and the mechanisms foreseen in this respect.
Both sides confirmed the vitality of this privileged partnership and their intention to work actively for its development in all areas of mutual interest.
