Brussels avoids commenting on Morocco's incursion into Spanish territorial waters and encourages Madrid and Rabat to clarify the matter.

The European Commission has declined to take a position on an incursion by Morocco into Spanish territorial waters, which occurred during the migration crisis in Ceuta. Speaking on a Wednesday, European officials stated that the matter should be addressed directly by Madrid and Rabat.

Brussels formally encouraged both the Spanish and Moroccan authorities to clarify the specifics of what transpired during the incident. The Commission's stance leaves the resolution of the territorial and diplomatic dispute strictly in the hands of the two nations involved.
