"Mr President, it is a fact that the definition of territoriality applied by Israel to determine the origin of its exports to the European Union is not legal. The Commission has publicly announced that Israel improperly issues proofs of origin to settlement products, but why has the Commission done nothing effective about it?
The legal settlements are the main obstacle to peace. At present, Member States which do not want to violate the trade agreement in giving preferential treatment to exports from such illegal settlements have only been able to recover some limited duties, mainly relying on Israel to refrain from answering verification questions.
Why has the Commission not explicitly notified the Member States that Israel's definition of territoriality is illegal? Only when that has happened can the Member States draw the logical conclusion that they have to ask for verification for all Israeli products exported to the European Union."@en1
