"Mr President, Commissioners, ladies and gentlemen, we are neither in a North African bazaar nor in a European marketplace. We are in a political assembly. We are not market traders; we are politicians. This is the viewpoint we should adopt when considering the failure of this agreement with Morocco. It seems that Morocco has behaved arrogantly towards Europe and the Union must really not forget this. I personally shall not. It is also worth asking, however, and in fact it has been asked, whether the Council may have adopted a somewhat aloof or passive attitude. This question remains to be answered. We might also ask whether the fact that this issue only affects two of the Union’s countries may have had some influence. This is undoubtedly true, and the Union has lost credibility in the eyes of the Portuguese people – and of the Spanish people too, I presume – and this is the main political concern that I wish to highlight."@en1
