"Mr President, I voted against the report because the present agreement contravenes international law, the human rights of the Sahrawi people and the decision of the International Court of Justice. At the same time, the agreement violates several basic principles of the European Union. The agreement is worrying from the point of view of the sustainable use of fish stocks. It is questionable whether it will benefit the people of Western Sahara at all. The agreement is also ineffectual economically.
The rejection of the report and the ending of the agreement have great symbolic significance. Support for an agreement of this type would damage the EU’s credibility. The EU must stand up for the principles of international law and the sustainable use of fish stocks worldwide. Furthermore, the European Parliament is responsible for safeguarding these basic principles. We cannot compromise on these values.
I hope that the Commission will draft an agreement that is more satisfactory in economic terms and that takes account of both the ecological perspective and the rights of the Sahrawi people in Western Sahara. At the same time, it is important that cooperation between the EU and Morocco continues."@en1
