"Mr President, in my opinion, this convention must not be concluded until it is explicitly excluded that goods from illegal Israeli settlements could benefit from preferential access to EU markets as a result. At the moment, it does open the door for that potentially to happen, which is not only wrong but it is also in contrast to official EU policy.
The settlements are a major tool of the occupation of the Palestinian territories. According to official Israeli land records, one third of the land within the settlements is privately held by Palestinians. Over 600 of the Palestinian-owned structures which were dismantled last year were located within the settlements and last year, five Palestinians, including two children, were killed, and over a thousand people were injured, by settlers or by security forces in incidents related to the settlements. These settlements must be dismantled immediately.
Instead of opening a loophole for these goods to come into the EU market with preferential access, in reality, the door to the EU market should be shut altogether."@en1
