Although the European Parliament has always supported the respect for human rights, the Fisheries Agreement between the EU and Morocco proved that the right to self-determination of people living in Western Sahara, has not been complied with.

Renewal of the Fisheries Agreement, which the Legal Service of the European Parliament clearly indicated illegal, because the European Union fishing vessels are situated in the area under international law that does not fall under the jurisdiction of Morocco. It is an area of Western Sahara, which has never been recognized as part of Morocco, and thus Morocco has no legal basis for continuing the sale of natural resources in the area.

Mojca Kleva voted against the agreement, "particularly from the economic, environmental and humanitarian point of view, as the agreement is violating human rights of the Western Saharawi people. As an MEP, I therefore feel obliged to reject proposals, which do not comply with the moral values that are suppose to guide the functioning of European institutions. I am proud that the European Parliament stand on the right side - the side of the people and their rights. "

Kleva together with the European Parliament delegation last weekend attended a visit to Western Sahara, where she met with representatives of the movement for independence of Western Sahara, with representatives of the Red Cross and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. She also visited the refugee camp where Saharawi people live entirely on humanitarian aid.
