In a legal note, the EU Council admits that the highest EU court has definitively annulled the EU-Morocco Trade and Fisheries Agreements as they applied to Western Sahara, marking a clear victory for the Saharawi people’s struggle for self-determination.

The French Court's confirmation comes a week after representatives of the Spanish agricultural sector called on the EU to end tomato imports from Western Sahara.

Three months have passed since the EU Court of Justice banned EU-Morocco trade deals in occupied Western Sahara. The EU Commission is still in the dark on how to take it from here.
