British Justice’s rejection of pro-separatist action, a ‘victory’ for both countries’ businesses, CGEM saysLondon Court of Appeal’s rejection of the case brought by pro-separatist NGO WSC against the Morocco-UK trade agreement is a victory for Moroccan and British companies, says the General Confederation of Moroccan Businesses (CGEM). In December 2022, the legal attack on the UK-Morocco Association Agreement by the pro-separatist NGO was categorically rejected. Today, in a further strong endorsement of the UK-Morocco trade relationship, the appeal has also been rejected, the CGEM says. On Thursday, the Court of Appeal in London irrevocably dismissed the appeal by the pro-separatist NGO “WSC” against a previous decision by the Administrative Court, rejecting its application to challenge the association agreement linking Morocco and the UK. This third setback since last December for the enemies of Morocco’s territorial integrity confirms the validity of the association agreement linking the two countries, which benefits the populations and development of all the Kingdom’s regions, from north to south.
