The compatibility with the Treaties of the Protocol on the EU-Morocco Fisheries Partnership Agreement

This procedure concerns a legal opinion from the Court of Justice regarding whether the fisheries partnership agreement between the European Union and Morocco aligns with EU Treaties. It focuses on the legal validity of the agreement, specifically concerning the territorial and maritime boundaries involved in fishing rights.

This affects the EU fishing industry and diplomatic relations with Morocco. A ruling against the agreement could lead to the suspension of fishing activities in the disputed waters of Western Sahara.
