The Federation of Fisheries and Aquaculture (FPMA) welcomed, on Friday, the rejection by the EU Parliament to submit the Morocco-EU fisheries agreement to the European Court of Justice to rule on whether the agreement complied with EU and international law.
The FPMA considered that negotiations on potential amendments will continue with a view to renew the partnership protocol agreement between Morocco and the EU in the field of fisheries, the FPMA said in a statement.
The FPMA also welcomed the approval by the European parliament’s fisheries commission of the Morocco-EU agricultural agreement.
In the same connection, Morocco’s Ambassador to the EU, Menouar Alem welcomed, on Friday in Brussels, the rejection of the EU Parliament by an overwhelming majority of a draft resolution recommending the EU Court of Justice to challenge the Morocco-EU fisheries agreement.
“The European Parliament foiled by an overwhelming majority the maneuver which the enemies of Morocco presented under the guise of a “legal approach” hiding their real insidious political schemes,” the Moroccan diplomat told MAP.
He explained that some political parties organized a disinformation campaign against Morocco with the aim of misleading members of European Parliament (MEPs) and undermining the good Morocco-EU ties.
