Western Sahara
EU Requires
Labeling of
Produce While
Colonial
Guterres Bans
Press

UN GATE, Feb 5 –
On
Western
Sahara, Inner
City Press has
repeatedly
asked UN
Secretary General
Antonio
Guterres, his
spokesmen and
now
Communications
chief Melissa
Fleming
about sexual
harassment
charges
against his representative
Colin Stewart,
which it has
exclusively
reported as
credited here
and even here.
Guterres
has refused to
answer, and on
August 30, 2019
denied
Inner City
Press access
to the UNGA week he
let dozens of
Moroccan
state media
into as he and
Fleming
continue
the ban on
Inner City
Press
supported by a
frivolous
complaint filed
against Inner
City Press'
coverage from
the UN
Security
Council
stakeout. On
Sept 16, see
"prayer" video
here.
Now on
February 5 while
Guterres
continues his
ban on the
Press to
conceal his colonial
and reverse colonial
connections like
his mutual
support with
Angola's dos
Santos'
and refusal to
answer Inner
City Press on
the
LuandaLeaks,
radio here,
this
from the
European
Commission:
"Commission
Implementing
Regulation
(EU) No
543/2011
laying down
detailed rules
for the
application of
Council
Regulation
(EC) No
1234/2007 in
respect of the
fruit and
vegetables and
processed
fruit and
vegetables
sectors1
provides for
the criteria
to be complied
with for the
marketing of
those
products. All
imported
products,
including
those
originating
from the
Western
Sahara, need
to comply with
the relevant
legislation,
including the
requirement to
provide
accurate and
not misleading
information on
the country of
origin or
provenance of
those
products,
which in such
case must thus
be “Western
Sahara”. In
accordance
with Article
15.4 of
Commission
Regulation
(EU) No
543/2011,
Morocco is one
of the third
countries
where the
conformity
checks have
been approved
by the
Commission.
The Moroccan
authorities
are
responsible
for carrying
out checks on
conformity to
marketing
standards of
fresh fruit
and vegetables
under their
supervision
and those
authorities
are
responsible
for contacts
with the
Union." We'll
have more on
this.
On
December 23
Guterres'
Franco-spokesman
Stephane
Dujarric
promoted in
advance that
he would speak
about MINURSO
at noon. But
it was not
to name a
replacement of
Horst Kohler.
Instead, it
was to in essence
apologize
to Morocco for
two UN
military
observers
briefly
visiting a
POLISARIO meeting.
Video here.
On
December
25, Sahara
News gloated
about
Dujarric's
craven apology
like a
Christmas gift.
This is
just another
example of #DoojDelivers,
as he also did
for Saudi
state media on
December 24, helping
provide a fig
leaf the the scam
trial for the
murder of
Jamal Khashoggi. For
corrupt
Antonio
Guterres, #DoojDelivers.
We will track
this in 2020.
