Madrid – Spain hopes that a “just, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution” to the Sahara issue will be achieved, Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Garcia Margallo said.
“We support all efforts made by the Special Envoy of the Un Secretary-General for the Sahara, Christopher Ross, aimed at advancing negotiations between the parties,” Garcia Margallo said in an interview published on Sunday by the Spanish daily “El Pais”.
He added that any solution reached by the parties will be supported by Madrid.
Asked about the non extension of the Morocco-EU fishing agreement by the European Parliament, he described the decision as bad news, especially for the Spanish fishing sector.
