"Mr President, I welcome the conclusions of the Foreign Affairs Council held on 14 May 2012 on the Middle East peace process, in which the European Union reaffirms its commitment to a two-state solution and expresses concern that this solution is being undermined by settlement construction and the demolition of houses and other infrastructure in Area C. At the same time, diplomats in the area have reported that at least 62 infrastructure projects, including water cisterns and sanitation systems funded by the European Union and its Member States, were demolished by Israel in 2011, in addition to the hundreds of houses and arable and livestock holdings. Over the last ten years, Israeli occupying forces have destroyed EU-funded projects worth EUR 50 million. At present, the Israeli authorities have issued demolition orders for 110 infrastructure projects which are in danger of being reduced to rubble at any moment. This infrastructure and those projects that have already been destroyed were built at the expense of European taxpayers. Will the Council and the Commission say what action they intend to take to protect projects built with European taxpayers’ money?"@en1
