"I voted against the resolution. Some of us have insisted, using not only political but also legal channels, that the agreement should explicitly exclude the territories of the Western Sahara, as is already the case with others, such as the agreement with the United States. This is the first fundamental reason why we reject this treaty.
We also believe this treaty should be renegotiated and adapted to the demands of sustainable economic and social development. It should promote regional integration and address the challenges of the ‘Arab Spring’, thereby also strengthening democracy in the region. I do not believe it is achieving this.
The treaty has scant regard for environmental protection, proper use of resources, adequate determination of producers’ wages, or the creation of sustainable jobs. I also disagree with the absence of any reference to child labour, a problem that already exists in the industry and which could be intensified as a result of an increase in agricultural exports."@en1
