This study examines cases C-104/16 P and C-266/16 concerning, respectively, the Agricultural Agreement and the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the EU and the Kingdom of Morocco, both of which have revealed a tug-of-war between the judiciary and the legislative and executive powers of the EU regarding the Western Sahara conflict.

This article analyses the two cases at both the procedural and political levels, in addition to their consequences with regard to the positioning of the actors involved to show that, in the case of the Western Sahara conflict, EU economic and geopolitical interests have prevailed over the application of European and international law.Taylor and Francisinfo202420242022info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/10366/155511reponame:GREDOS.
