European Commission representative Sabine Henzler revealed that the European Union institution and Morocco are negotiating the idea to improve the traceability of products coming from Western Sahara.
After filing complaints against seven big French companies, the Polisario called on credit insurer COFACE to stop its activities in the Sahara.
Morocco, the Polisario, Algeria and Mauritania will be attending in December a round-table meeting, that was welcomed by resolution 2440. For former Polisario leaders the resolution adopted in October pressure the parties into finding a solution to the conflict.
The Polisario Front preferred to take note of the new Security Council resolution on Western Sahara. Morocco, on the other hand, welcomed resolution 2440.
Resolution 2440 did not focus on determining the role played by Algeria in the Western Sahara conflict. The country is still considered by the Security Council as a neighboring stateand not a party in the conflict.
Authorities in Algeria and Mauritania have been imposing strict regulations on Sahrawi merchants and NGOs wishing to enter the Tindouf camps for humanitarian reasons.
