"I am 100% behind Mr Duff’s resolution. It is right and important to draw attention to the situation of the population of Western Sahara. The Moroccan authorities must provide information on the extent to which its economic activities relating to the natural resources in the territory of Western Sahara are for the benefit of the population of the territory and in accordance with their wishes. The status of the region under international law must be clarified. A court ruling on the territory of Western Sahara would bring about clarity in respect of relations between the European Union and the Kingdom of Morocco. Nonetheless, this resolution comes at the wrong time. Had it been passed, the resolution would have
blocked the EU’s fisheries agreement with Morocco, since this expires on 28 February 2012, and it is unlikely that the European Court of Justice would have passed a ruling by this date. Had this resolution been passed, it would have sent out the wrong signal to our Moroccan partners. Morocco is the only country in North Africa to have succeeded in initiating reforms to bring about democracy by peaceful means. This process should not be disrupted."@en1
