"The Presidency has given Mrs Boudjenah very satisfactory answers, not just on the subject of the code of conduct for arms but also regarding the conflict in the Sahara. The President-in-Office of the Council is well aware that Mrs Boudjenah’s question arises out of her concern about the conflict between Morocco and Western Sahara. In his clear reply, he spoke in support of the United Nations and James Baker. He outlined the need to reach an agreement acceptable to all. He stated that Europe is in fact the largest donor of humanitarian aid, contributing EUR 20 million. Given that we are the largest donor of humanitarian aid, ought we not to play a major political role in this conflict? We should prevent the inhabitants of Western Sahara returning to arms and an escalation of the fighting. Why should we limit ourselves to supporting James Baker and the United Nations? Mr President-in-Office of the Council, an acceptable agreement was reached back in 1992, when the inhabitants of Western Sahara laid down their arms to vote in a referendum which should have been held that same year. Do you not agree that the best way forward would be for that referendum to take place, with European backing?"@en1
