The EU reiterates the high value it attaches to its partnership with Morocco, which is long-standing, wide-ranging, and deep. Over the years, we have established a profound friendship and a solid and multi-faceted cooperation, which we intend to take to the next level in the coming weeks and months.
The EU takes note of the Court of Justice of the European Union's judgments C-778/21 P, C-798/21 P, C-779/21 P, C-799/21 on the appeals against the judgment of the General Court of 29 September 2021 as well as the reply to the preliminary ruling request in case C-399/22 on the labeling of fruit and vegetables from the territory of the Western Sahara. The European Commission is currently analyzing the judgments in detail. In this context, we take note that the European Court of Justice preserves the validity of the agreement on agricultural products for an additional 12 months.
In close cooperation with Morocco, the EU firmly intends to preserve and continue strengthening close relations with Morrocco in all areas of the Morocco-EU Partnership, in line with the principle of pacta sunt servanda.
