lpv:translated text	"I voted against this report. Adoption of this agreement will have devastating effects for small and medium-sized farms. Furthermore, it will only benefit major European food multinationals and large Moroccan landowners, not least the King of Morocco, who remains the largest owner of fertile farmland in the country. This agreement, like the fisheries agreement, totally disregards international law in so far as it still includes natural resources that belong to the Saharan people. In so doing, it reinforces and perpetuates Morocco’s plundering of the Western Sahara. What is more, the agreement still fails to address an issue that is crucial in any trade relationship: products’ social and democratic quality, the exploitative conditions endured by Moroccan farmers, and the social dumping that accompanies market liberalisation, that is, making European and Moroccan agricultural products compete on the basis of price. Morocco continues to be excused of any requirement to fulfil and guarantee minimum standards in the area of social relations, employment or plant protection."@en1
