The Presidency of the European Union welcomes that proposals have been submitted to the United Nations by Morocco as well as the Sahrawi independence movement Frente Polisario for settling the long-stalled conflict over the Western Sahara.
Morocco had previously briefed the EU Presidency on its autonomy plan.
The European Union supports all UN efforts aimed at reaching a peaceful and mutually acceptable solution, based on the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions, of a conflict that has dragged on so long and caused grievous human suffering.
