Dec 23 Immigration, fisheries agreements and xenophobic populism

When last 14 December I read that the European Parliament voted against the extension of the agreement on fisheries between the European Union and Morocco sought directly from the great compliments Spanish racists on the subject. But, inexplicably, I have not found.

Throw in the thread:

EP says that the agreement leads to overexploitation, is illegal because it interferes with the Saharawi people's resources and is not profitable for the EU, you pay a very high rate to Morocco in exchange for very little fishing licenses (few, add, but that cause overexploitation).

By The Vanguard “requests the Commission to present as soon as a negotiating mandate for a future EU-Morocco fisheries agreement “that is sustainable economic, ecologically and socially. It also asks that the future pact Brussels fits the actual fishing opportunities from scientific studies and consultation with the fishermen. MEPs demanded that the agreement contributes to the development of fisheries in . On respect for the resources of the Western Sahara, resolution, agreed by popular, Socialists and Liberals, calls for respect “international law and the benefits of local population”.

The report of the IOM makes it clear: the only effective formula for returning migrants to their places of origin is to improve living conditions there. White and bottled, to speak.

“(…) Poland's example highlights the effects of the economic performance of a country of origin on return decisions of migrants. From 2008 was an increase in the number of Polish migrants returning, which probably reflects the fact that Poland is the only EU member that has not fallen into recession and continued economic growth”.

Thanks to a future more equitable fishing, therefore, the Mohamed ® Duran i Lleida or Cleries Councillor will return home is not great?

In the case of Morocco, however, There are still a final hurdle. Fisheries agreements (or any other) negotiated with a corrupt regime (muuuyyy corrupt).

And this is where problems come. The corrupt regime lease its territorial waters as if they were personal assets, oblivious to the needs of people. That's good for the “incorruptible” Europe as we are allowed to fish at our ease. However, the people, ruined, migrate to survive. And to get to Europe become the subject of electoral campaigning and political concerns of those same populists who signed fishing agreements with corrupt regimes unjust. We come to steal the work and identity… and we believe what we voted for them to continue signing agreements and filling the same, at the same time, hate our political discourse.
