"Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, I appreciate that many questions have been posed on this issue, but they are all different. When we believe a subject is deadlocked within the European institutions we usually proceed as we are today to try and make progress. In my question I acknowledge that the United Nations plan for a fair referendum for Western Sahara is still valid. You replied that you appealed for human rights to be respected when you met with the Mediterranean countries. In particular, the latter included Morocco and the associated states. Mr President-in-Office of the Council, I think this is insufficient. If, as you said, the Saharawis have released 100 Moroccan prisoners but the Moroccans have imprisoned three Saharawis in terrible conditions, simply appealing for respect for human rights is not enough. We need to apply pressure. As we have association and trade links with Morocco, we are in a position to apply such pressure. We must insist on respect for human rights and urge both the Saharawis and the Moroccans to release their respective prisoners. We need to apply far stronger pressure."@en1
