Formed of representatives of many EP groupes, the visit of this delegation comes within the framework "of the increasing concern the international community have for the settlement of the conflict in Western Sahara on the basis of international legality and in conformity with UN's doctrine with respect to decolonisation", declared to SPS Mr. Mohamed Sidati, Minister Counselor to the Presidency, who was accompanying the MPs.

The delegation includes Mister. José Javier POMÉS RUIZ, of the group of European Popular Party (Christians-Démocrats) and of Démocrats, Mrs. Karin SCHEELE, Ana Maria GOMES and Iratxe GARCÍA PÉREZ of the Socialist Group, besides Mr. Miguel PORTAS, Raül ROMEVA i RUEDA and Willy MEYER PLEITE of the European Unionist Left/Green Left.

The MPs will have meetings with members from the Government and Saharawi political leadership, and will visit the socio-economic institutions of SADR before having a meeting the President of the Republic, Mohamed Abdelaziz, according to the schedule of the visit.

The EP, it should be recalled, had adopted in March 2002 a resolution in which it declares to be "préoccupied with the perpetual delay of the referendum of self-determination". It called Morocco and Polisario Front to "collaborate with the United Nations in the organisation of this consultation without delays" aiming at "surmounting the current obstacles that hinder the implementation of the international resolutions".
