"Against. The members of the Greens/European Free Alliance welcome the result of the vote (326 votes against the agreement and 296 in favour). After months of tense and complex negotiations, deliberations and debates, under significant pressure from some governments, such as the governments of Morocco and Spain, Parliament has finally responded coherently and correctly by rejecting this agreement. If we had supported the agreement, we would have infringed international law and trampled all over the rights of the Sahrawi people. We voted against the resolution on three fronts: legal, ecological and economic. Legally, Morocco was negotiating with resources that do not belong to it as Western Sahara is an occupied territory and, consequently, the agreement ignores the rights of the Sahrawi people, thereby infringing international law. Ecologically, fisheries agreements should be based on stocks with surpluses, whereas the stocks in that area suffer from overfishing. Economically, the profitability of this agreement has proven to be the worst of all such agreements and it is a waste of European money."@en1
