As the EU and Morocco met in Spain last week, pro Saharawi sympathisers called for the end of the Moroccan occupation.

While Morocco maintains its illegal occupation of Western Sahara, the EU seeks further cooperation with the Moroccan government. But the issue of Western Sahara remains more or less unmentioned in the EU-Moroccan talks.

As the two parties met in Granada, Spain, pro Saharawis organised demonstrations and meetings of support of the Sahrawi people, and urging the EU to respect and protect international law on the issue.

A group of Portuguese demonstrators demanded the EU to stop its fisheries partnership with Morocco, which also covers occupied Western Sahara, in violation of legal opinions from the UN and the European Parliament.

The EU considers to pay Morocco to fish in occupied Western Sahara. An EU-Morocco Fisheries Agreement from 2013 would be both politically controversial and in violation of international law. The international Fish Elsewhere! campaign demands the EU to avoid such unethical operations, and go fishing somewhere else. No fishing in Western Sahara should take place until the conflict is solved.
