%X EU  data  protection  Law  allows  the  transfer  of  personal  data  to  third  countries  and  international  organisations  only  when  the  European  protection  standards  are  met.  This  condition  demands for the externalisation of the EU legal framework to ensure the flow of information in all sectors.  Morocco  has  been  moving  towards  the  EU  data  protection  principles  for  trade  purposes,  tough  it  has  not  reached  an  equivalent  level  of  protection  as  required  by  Article  44  General  Data  Protection Regulation (GDPR). As a result, the exchange of personal data from the EU to Morocco is  based  on  less  guarantors  means  as  far  as  the  individuals’  fundamental  rights  are  concerned.  Concretely,  the  operational  activity  conducted  by  the  European  Border  and  Coast  Guard  to  return  irregular migrants is founded on the derogative clause of «important reasons of public interest». This article maintains that the approximation of Moroccan law to the continental one is an indispensable means  to  fairly  manage  migration  flows.  For  this  purpose,  the  EU  not  only  promotes  high  data protection standards, but it also outsources its IT model enclosed in the Interoperability Regulations, no. 817 and 818 of 2019.
