lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this motion for a resolution requesting the opinion of the Court of Justice of the European Union on the compatibility with international law of the Protocol to the EU-Morocco Fisheries Agreement. This is not just a legal formality designed to slow down the implementation of a trade agreement. It is a show of support for the Sahrawi people’s struggle and for their right to decide their own future. The problem with this agreement is that it concerns the territorial waters not only of Morocco but also of Western Sahara, which the UN has regarded since 1963 as a ‘non-self-governing’, or colonised, territory. With my vote, I therefore chose to defend the right of individuals to live freely before defending any particular economic interest. I therefore regret that this motion has been rejected by a large majority of MEPs, who were no doubt afraid that the Court of Justice’s opinion would be compatible with international law. At a time when the European Union and Nicolas Sarkozy are restricting their policy to the signing of contracts with Mohammed VI, I prefer to campaign for the rights of the Sahrawi people."@en1
