![]() Key Bay case: Polisario Front lodges a complaint with the European and French authorities For a strict application of the judgment of 21 December 2016 The Polisario Front is paying close attention to the conditions under which the Key Bay vessel, which has embarked fish oil at ElAaiun, will be obliged to comply with European law, as recalled in the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union on 21 December 2016, which must be fully enforced. Thanks to the action, on the spot, of Pilar Alvarez, Deputy Mayor of Las Palmas, and Florent Marcellesi, MEP, all information is now available. The Key Bay stopped in Las Palmas (Spain) to fill up fuel, and during this short period of time, the Guardia Civil was able to see the documents allowing transport. It appears that the authorizations were issued at ElAaiun, under Moroccan occupation, which establishes the violation of international law. Indeed, there has been fishing for the Saharawi waters, then their transformation into oil, then embarkation, all under so-called Moroccan authorizations, with the aim of placing on the European market products for human use. Such products can only enter the European market if they are accompanied by certificates of origin and health guarantees drawn up by the administration of the State of origin. In its judgment of 21 December 2016 the Court held that Morocco and Western Sahara were separate territories of distinct sovereignty and that the agreements concluded between the European Union and Morocco could in no case be applied In the Western Sahara. Thus, the products allegedly Moroccan but which actually come from the Saharawi waters and the port of ElAaiun can be exported by European companies and access to the European market only with the authorization of the Polisario Front, the sole representative of the Saharawi people. Mr. Mhamed Khadad, member of the leadership of the Polisario Front, said: "This concerns all waters under Saharawi sovereignty and all port boats since ElAaiun. Morocco is the occupying military power, subject to the Fourth Geneva Convention, and has no right to issue export authorizations ". Yesterday, 16 January 2016, MEPs - Mrs Florent Marcellesi, José Bové and Bodil Valero (The Greens) - formally seized Mrs Mogherini, High Representative of the European Union, Mr Malmstrom, European Commissioner for Trade and Mr Moscovici , European Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, of violations of European law that would be committed if the Key Bay could proceed to the landing of a cargo coming from the Saharawi waters and a Saharawi port. Mr. Mhamed Khadad announced on January 17th that the Polisario Front will file a complaint with the European Commission and the customs authorities in France within 48 hours to ensure that European law is respected: "We hope for dialogue, but we are determined To enforce the judgment of the Court of Justice ". According to the officially published road map, the Key Bay must arrive in Fécamp in France at the end of this week. The French customs authorities would violate European law by admitting the landing of products which are not guaranteed by valid certificates of origin, then Morocco is not sovereign at ElAaiun. The Polisario Front asks the European Commission and the customs authorities to draw up a report of the illegality of this export and that the cargo be seized in accordance with the requirements of European customs law.

Pour une application stricte de l’arrêt du 21 décembre 2016 Le Front Polisario suit avec la plus grande attention les conditions dans lesquelles le navire Key Bay, qui a embarqué de l’huile poisson à ElAaiun, sera amené à respecter le droit européen, tel qu’il a été rappelé par l’arrêt de la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne le 21 décembre 2016, décision exécutoire qui doit être pleinement respectée. Grâce à l’action, sur place, de Pilar Alvarez, adjointe au maire de Las Palmas, et de Florent Marcellesi, parlementaire européen, toutes les informations sont désormais disponibles. Le Key Bay a fait escale à Las Palmas (Espagne) pour faire le plein de fuel, et pendant ce bref laps de temps, la Guardia civil a pu prendre connaissance des documents permettant le transport. Il en ressort que les autorisations ont été établies à ElAaiun, sous occupation marocaine, ce qui établit la violation du droit international. En effet, il y a eu la pêche des poissions dans les eaux sahraouies, puis leur transformation en huile, puis l’embarquement, le tout sous de prétendues autorisations marocaines, avec pour finalité la mise sur le marché européen de produits à destination humaine. Or, de tels produits ne peuvent accéder au marché européen que s’ils sont accompagnés de certificats d’origine et des garanties sanitaires établis par l’administration de l’Etat d’origine. Dans son arrêt du 21 décembre 2016, la Cour a dit que le Maroc et le Sahara occidental étaient des territoires distincts, relevant de souverainetés distinctes, et que les accords conclus entre l’Union européenne et le Maroc ne pouvaient en aucun cas s’appliquer au Sahara occidental. Ainsi, les produits prétendument marocains mais qui en réalité proviennent des eaux sahraouies et du port de ElAaiun peuvent être exportés par des entreprises européennes et accéder au marché européen qu’avec l’autorisation du Front Polisario, seul représentant du peuple Sahraoui. M. Mhamed Khadad membre de la direction du Front Polisario souligne : « Cela concerne toutes les eaux relevant de la souveraineté sahraouie et toutes les embarcations portuaires depuis ElAaiun. Le Maroc est la puissance militaire occupante, soumise à la IVème convention de Genève, et n’a aucun droit à délivrer des autorisations d’exportations ». Hier, 16 janvier 2016, des parlementaires européens – Mrs Florent Marcellesi, José Bové et Bodil Valero (Les Verts) - ont officiellement saisi Madame Mogherini, Haute représentante de l’Union européenne, M. Malmstrom, Commissaire européen au commerce et M. Moscovici, Commissaire européen aux affaires économiques et financières, des violations du droit européen qui seraient commises si le Key Bay pouvait procéder au débarquement d’une cargaison provenant des eaux sahraouies et d’un port sahraoui. M. Mhamed Khadad a annoncé ce 17 janvier que le Front Polisario va, sous 48 heures, déposer plainte auprès de la Commission européenne et des autorités douanières en France afin que soit respecté le droit européen : « Nous espérons le dialogue, mais nous sommes déterminés à faire appliquer l’arrêt de la Cour de Justice ». Selon la feuille de route officiellement publiée, le Key Baydoit arriver à Fécamp en France en fin de cette semaine. Les autorités douanières françaises violeraient le droit européen en admettant le débarquement de produits qui ne sont pas garantis par des certificats d’origine valable, alors le Maroc n’est pas souverain à « ElAaiun». Le Front Polisario demande à la Commission européenne et aux autorités douanières qu’il soit dressé un procès-verbal du caractère illégal de cette exportation, et que la cargaison soit saisie conformément aux prescriptions du droit douanier européen.
