European Parliament
Alyn Smith (Verts/ALE ),
in writing
Mr President, the plight of the people of the Western Sahara will not be improved by the exporting of our own disastrous fisheries policies to their territory, under illegal occupation by Morocco. It is a poor show that the EU, usually a guardian of the rule of law, is in this case using technicalities and weasel words to justify making ourselves in effect complicit in an illegal occupation. I voted against this poor report and am saddened that the House approved it.
