What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Calls on the Commission to support local civil society organisations that protect and promote the rights of migrants, as well as those monitoring the cooperation of the Mauritanian authorities with Frontex
• Deplores and strongly condemns the repeated practice by Mauritanian border guards and security staff of pushbacks and refoulement of migrants and asylum seekers
• Underlines that the provision of development aid by the EU and its Member States is to be carried out in full transparency and under parliamentary scrutiny

Quoted from A9-0358/2023, which says more than these lines. Each is a whole paragraph; this site does not rewrite them.
