This decision “is a new victory for the Sahrawi people and their fair struggle and also for the legality, the values of justice and human rights, EU’s founding principles,” said Sahrawi President, reiterating his call to the European Commission to “rigorously comply with the requirements of this decision and that preceding it, and thus the European law and international law.”
