The fisheries agreement between the EU and Morocco is due to expire on 17 July, which is a cause for concern for EU fishermen, especially those from Spain. This subject could be raised at the informal meeting of European fisheries ministers on 17 and 18 July in Vigo, Spain (see other news).
On 20 March this year, a number of EU fisheries ministers asked the European Commission to extend the validity of the protocol until the final decision of the EU General Court (see EUROPE B13146A10).
