EU recognizes air pact excludes Western Sahara
The European Commission confirmed that the Euro-Mediterranean aviation agreement between the European Union and Morocco does not apply to flights between EU countries and the Western Sahara region. This clarifies that the territory is considered an independent and separate entity from Morocco from a legal standpoint. This announcement was made in response to a parliamentary question regarding the legitimacy of flights between European cities and Western Sahara. The European Court affirmed that the agreement does not cover the region, thereby supporting the Sahrawi people's right to claim their independence and their pursuit of sovereignty. This decision effectively ends attempts to consider Western Sahara as part of EU activities and permits flights connecting Europe and the region to operate legally and independently of Morocco.
