Representatives from all political groups in the European Parliament today grilled the European Commission over bending EU rules to appease Morocco with regard to labelling of products from occupied Western Sahara.
The certification scheme that claims to champion legal compliance has circulated misleading information about EU labelling rules for products originating from occupied Western Sahara.
Behind the headlines and diplomatic spin suggesting that the Security Council is now siding with Morocco lies a more complex reality - one that hinges on the very right that Rabat has spent decades trying to bury: self-determination.
