#ECJ: Judgment 4 October 2024

Western Sahara: the 2019 EU-Morocco trade agreements regarding fisheries and agricultural products, to which the people of Western Sahara did not consent, were concluded in breach of the principles of self-determination and the relative effect of treaties

Consumer information: the labelling of melons and tomatoes harvested in Western Sahara must refer to that territory, and not Morocco, as the country of origin

Food labelling: where no legal name has been adopted, a Member State may not prohibit the use of terms traditionally associated with products of animal origin to designate a product containing vegetable proteins

Discriminatory measures adopted in respect of women by the Taliban regime constitute acts of persecution

An online social network such as Facebook cannot use all of the personal data obtained for the purposes of targeted advertising, without restriction as to time and without distinction as to type of data

AG COLLINS: The Commission has failed to prove that EU rules on citizenship (Article 20 TFEU) require that a ‘genuine link’ or ‘prior genuine link’ between a Member State and an individual must exist in order for it to grant citizenship
