lpv:translated text	"I voted against ratification by the European Parliament of the EU-Morocco agreement on liberalising agricultural products. This agreement goes against the interests of farmers and small producers on both sides of the Mediterranean and will only benefit big business and the King of Morocco himself, who owns more than 12 000 hectares of land. The Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left (GUE/NGL) has worked with the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance (Verts/ALE) and José Bové, who has led the fight over this issue, to put forward an alternative resolution. Our resolution observes that following the Arab Spring, the European Union should no longer dare to dictate unequal relationships, guided solely by the desire to impose its liberal model (the harmfulness of which grows clearer every day) to the detriment of fundamental principles such as food sovereignty. Within this resolution, we also took the opportunity to remark that this agreement should not apply to the Western Sahara. The European Commission responded that ‘the United Nations considers the Western Sahara to be a non-autonomous territory and deems Morocco to be its administrative power’. Such a response is staggering. To apply such reasoning is to declare international law meaningless."@en1
