lpv:translated text	"Mr President, of course, like all the previous speakers, and particularly the rapporteurs, I am in favour of a strengthened Euro-Mediterranean partnership. This partnership is of interest both to the countries bordering the Mediterranean and to the whole of the European Union. And I feel that we should focus, first and foremost, on our relations with the Arab Maghreb Union. The Maghreb Union remains a pious hope, however, with the creation of this Union encountering a series of obstacles which, unfortunately, have not yet been overcome. In a few days’ time, the meeting of the AMU Heads of State will be held in Algiers and I would like to highlight one of the obstacles which continues to sour relations between Algeria and Morocco. I wish to discuss the conflict in Western Sahara and the future of the Western Saharan people. The rapporteurs quite rightly touched upon this. As chair of the ad hoc delegation sent on behalf of Parliament to this region, to Tinduf and El-Ayun, I cannot stress enough that we must find a political solution, it is a matter of urgency. The fate of thousands of Western Saharan men, women and children is at stake, people who, for 26 years, have been living in extremely harsh conditions and are awaiting a solution that recognises their rights and their dignity. To resolve the situation, a good-will agreement must firstly be reached between the main countries that are directly involved, namely Algeria and Morocco. I sincerely hope that the meeting between the AMU Heads of State will enable progress to be made in this area."@en1
