EU legal adviser recommends annulment of EU-Morocco fishing agreement over Western Sahara dispute.

EU legal adviser recommends annulment of EU-Morocco fishing agreement, as it would have allowed European boats to fish in disputed Western Sahara waters. The advocate general for the Court of Justice of the EU supports the court's earlier ruling, rejecting appeals to uphold the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement with Morocco. The court in 2021 ruled the agreement violated the rights of the disputed territory and the Polisario Front, considered representatives of the Sahrawi people by Europe.
