In the first place, this agreement ignores a vital question: the occupation by Morocco of another country – Western Sahara – and the continuing oppression and denial of the right to self-determination of the Sahrawi people, in total disregard of international law. By approving this agreement, the majority in this Parliament is giving its support to Morocco’s participation in certain EU programmes and its gradual integration into the EU internal market. It disregards the negative consequences for both the Moroccan people and the peoples of the EU countries, particularly those countries that lie closest to Morocco and compete with it in production, such as Portugal.
This agreement and the measures that it envisages are of a piece with the agreement on the reciprocal liberalisation of agricultural products, fish and fishery products, the aim of which is the economic colonisation of new territories as a way out of the crisis of accumulation faced by big business in the EU. The winners are the big European agribusiness multinationals, which seek to lower production costs by exploiting their workers and eliminating the controls on the despoliation of natural resources. Equally threatened are the small growers of Mediterranean produce (fruit and vegetables) in the southern countries of the EU."@en1
