"The fisheries agreement between the European Union and Morocco has already expired on 28 February 2011. A resumption of the agreement is now to be brought about. Fishing boats from the EU have been active for years off the coast of Western Sahara, to which the new agreement is to be extended; something that was clearly ruled out until now. According to an opinion issued by the European Parliament’s legal service published in 2010, the fisheries activities off the coast of Western Sahara are illegal – particularly in view of the status of Western Sahara as a Non-Self-Governing Territory under Article 73 of the UN Charter. I did not vote in favour of the report because the Moroccan Government – ignoring numerous UN Security Council decisions and an opinion issued by the International Court of Justice – regards Western Sahara as its territory, but actually has no sovereign rights over it. Consequently, by extending the agreement, the EU would be endorsing Morocco’s illegal territorial claims."@en1
