In the parliamentary debate on 9 February, all political parties backed a text that calls on the EU to make a prospective new fisheries agreement with Morocco conditional on the kingdom’s respect for the Saharawi’s human rights. The text also urges the European institutions to negotiate with the Frente Polisario if the Union wishes to have access to the waters off Western Sahara.
Furthermore, the Basque Parliament appealed to both the central Spanish government and the European Union to support the United Nations in pursuing a solution that is “just, lasting and in line with international law” for the difficult decolonisation of Western Sahara, based on the right to self-determination through the conduct of a referendum.
The text was an initiative of UPyD, but gathered immediate support from all other groups, including the partido popular and the socialist party. Source: http://www.fishelsewhere.eu |
