12/2/2011

The British parliament said in a report on the parliamentary elections in Morocco, that "In 2007, Morocco made a serious initiative to advance the negotiations (on the Sahara issue), offering autonomy to the territory under the Moroccan sovereignty. "

The report, prepared on behalf of the members of the House of Commons (lower house of parliament at Westminster), said that the former Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General of the United Nations for the Sahara issue, concluded in 2009 that "independence was not a realistic option "for resolving the matter.

Returning to the position of the Government of the United Kingdom on this issue, the Westminster Parliament noted that London, while supporting the efforts of the UN Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy to reach a "negotiated political solution" , considers the autonomy plan presented by Morocco as a "serious and credible contribution to these efforts," according to the terms of Resolution 1871 of the UN Security Council.
