According to Mr Abdelaziz, the EU had "all the political and economic assets" needed to pressure Morocco to accept the implementation of the UN-organised independence referendum in Western Sahara.
This was "a choice that inevitably will have harmful consequences on the safety and stability of the entire region" at Europe's doorstep, he added.
The bulk of the Sahrawi population remains in Algerian refugee camps and the UN has not been enabled to organise the referendum - originally scheduled for the mid-90s.

Morocco, which annexed the region in 1975 after Spanish settlers left, is opposed to the plan saying its implementation would pose "major risks" for security and stability in the region.
