Brussels (Belgium), September 2, 2021 (SPS) - Several European parliamentarians have raised the complicity of the European Union during the meeting of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development of the European Parliament, held yesterday, Wednesday, denouncing the Illegal exploitation of natural resources in Western Sahara by the European Union and the occupying power, the Kingdom of Morocco.
European parliamentarians also highlighted attempts to circumvent international law and the decisions of the European Union Court of Justice regarding Sahrawi natural resources, placing emphasis on fraudulent labeling of products imported from the occupied areas of Western Sahara.
On the other hand, members of the European Parliament addressed the issue of the water level in Western Sahara, which drops 2 meters every year due to the excessive and frenzied exploitation of the Moroccan occupation. SPS
