The Government of the Canary Islands affirms that it has the guarantee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the contract recently signed by Morocco with the Israeli company Ratio Petroleum Energy to explore the search for oil and gas on the Saharawi coast near Dakhla does not collide with the Canarian waters.
Torres said that once he became aware of these contracts, he immediately contacted the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who told him that there is a report from the Ministry that initially concludes that there is no collision with the waters of Spanish and Canarian sovereignty and "that he was going to contact his Moroccan counterpart to clarify any doubts about it."
In any case, Ángel Víctor Torres said that they will be "very attentive and vigilant" as they have always done, and affirmed that any action carried out by the Kingdom of Morocco must be done respecting the resolutions of the United Nations and international legality.

In this way, the president of the Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torres, pronounced this morning in plenary session, in response to a question from the spokesman of the Parliamentary Group of Nueva Canarias, Luis Campos, about the announcement of the granting of licenses by the Kingdom of Morocco to carry out prospecting in waters near the Canary Islands.
Torres said that once he became aware of these contracts, he immediately contacted the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who told him that there is a report from the Ministry that initially concludes that there is no collision with the waters of Spanish and Canarian sovereignty and "that he was going to contact his Moroccan counterpart to clarify any doubts about it."
He also indicated that the Hydrographic Institute has also issued a more specific report, which also concludes what was initially transferred by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs itself, "that there is no collision with this contract, as there has not been with previous ones."
