"Question No 3 by Yasmine Boudjenah (): The UN has decided to extend the presence of MINURSO in Western Sahara by two months in spite of the fact that the settlement plan signed between Morocco and the Polisario Front is not yet fully applicable. On the contrary, the threat of renewed armed conflict between the two parties is now greater than ever. For example, several indicators point to the fact that Morocco is seeking to rearm, such as the announcement that it is purchasing American or French fighter planes by investing part of the money obtained under the recent agreement between Vivendi and Maroc Telecom (US $ 3.5 bn). The British press has also recently revealed that Morocco benefited from trade agreements with the UK, thus enabling it to acquire more arms and renew its military capability: Mirage fighters, and spare parts which may already have permitted the manufacture of 56 field guns. These weapons are now deployed at the border, along the so-called ‘defence wall’. If confirmed, this transaction would be illegal since Community legislation – the Code of Conduct on Arms Exports – prohibits the sale of arms to countries or areas where there is a conflict situation. Can the Council confirm this information ? Does it propose to intervene with the Member State in question?"@en1
