A new exclusive world first revelation by WSHRW. For the first time is published the opinion of the Legal Service of the European Parliament on the so-called “Agricultural Agreement”, the new Association Agreement between the EU and Morocco signed at the end of 2009, at the time that Morocco illegally deported Aminatu Haidar. Said Agreement was finally published in 2012 in the Official Journal of the European Union.
The Trade Committee of the European Parliament requested an opinion of this Institution’s Legal Service on the legality of the agreement.
The opinion issued by the Legal Service, which is very negative for Moroccan interests, was kept secret. The European Commission and the European Council themselves have not ventured to invoke it to address the action brought before the European Court of Justice by Frente Polisario against this Agreement.
The opinion establishes in two key paragraphs the illegality of the Association Agreement for not having taken into account the “wishes and interests” of the Saharawi population and for not guaranteeing that products originating in Western Sahara are labelled as “product from Western Sahara” and not as “product from Morocco”.
These are the most important paragraphs of the European Parliament’s Legal Service of 11 January 2011, which WSHRW publishes in an exclusive world first:
Because of France veto in the Security Council, MINURSO (UN Mission in Western Sahara) is the only UN mission to not report on the situation of human rights in this colony.
To end this anomaly, thank you to sign this petition:
