WESTERN SAHARA

Early day motion 2188, tabled 16 May 2006 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 74 members.

That this House calls on the Government to seek an urgent amendment to the proposed European Union Moroccan Fishing Agreement to ensure that the waters of the occupied Western Sahara are excluded from it; and notes that for 30 years Morocco has been illegally occupying the Western Sahara and finds it astonishing that the EU should propose to allow the exploitation of its resources.
