EU court: Morocco deals don't apply to Western Sahara
By EUobserver
Deals between the EU and Morocco do not apply to Western Sahara, the European Court of Justice has ruled. The judges dismissed the case brought by Polisario, the Western Sahara independence movement, which wanted the EU-Morocco deals to be invalidated. Instead, judges said Western Sahara must be regarded as a third party to any deal, and could only be included with the people's expressed consent.
