"The first Protocol to the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Community and the Kingdom of Morocco expired on 28 February 2011, and the new Protocol was signed on 13 July 2011. The conclusion of the new Protocol requires the consent of the European Parliament, however, before it can be finally adopted by the Council. The application of the new Protocol extends, however, to the waters off the coast of Western Sahara, which has been on the United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories since 1963. In order to comply with international law, however, economic activities relating to the natural resources of a Non-Self-Governing Territory must be carried out for the benefit of the people of such a territory, and in accordance with their wishes. Since it has not been demonstrated that the Union’s financial contribution is used for the benefit of the people of Western Sahara, there is legal uncertainty as to whether the new Protocol complies with international law as regards the socio-economic interests of the Non-Self-Governing Territory of Western Sahara and the exploitation of its natural resources. In my opinion, the European Parliament has therefore taken the right approach in deciding to seek an opinion from the Court of Justice on the compatibility of the abovementioned Protocol with the Treaties, and in instructing its President to take the necessary measures to obtain such an opinion from the Court of Justice."@en1
