"I have taken a strong interest in the EU Morocco fisheries agreement and, with my political group, voted against the proposal. I believe that EU fisheries agreements are often flawed in that they encourage industrial fishing on a scale which threatens conservation of marine resources, as well as allowing European fishermen to deprive local fishing communities of a livelihood. In theory, the money paid to the governments of countries like Morocco should flow back to the local people to compensate. In the case of Morocco, this is not the case and indeed Morocco does not respect the UN resolutions granting the right of self-determination to the Western Saharan people through a plebiscite and has not compensated the Sahrawi people for their loss of fishing rights in proportion to the size of the Western Saharan coastline. For all these reasons, I reject the proposal."@en1
