lpv:translated text	"We Swedish Social Democrats cannot support a trade agreement that contravenes international law. We therefore voted against this agreement between the EU and Morocco. The EU can only conclude agreements with the occupying power Morocco that include Western Saharan territory if certain stringent conditions are fulfilled. These conditions – that the agreement must be in accordance with the wishes and the interests of the occupied people – have not been fulfilled. The European Parliament’s legal service is therefore of the opinion that it cannot be guaranteed that this free trade agreement is compatible with the international agreements to which the EU and the Member States are bound. When the European Parliament asked the European Commission whether products from Western Sahara would be covered by the agreement, the Commission replied ‘to the extent that exports of products from Western Sahara are benefiting from the trade preferences’. Both EFTA and the US have trade agreements with Morocco that do not affect Western Sahara. The EU should obviously respect international law in the same way."@en1
