"Mr President, Commissioner, you will be aware that in several Member States, including France, it is consumer associations and human rights organisations which carry out controls on the origin of products labelled ‘Made in Israel’, and these groups regularly denounce the presence on our markets of products originating in illegal settlements. It is not a rare occurrence. In a spirit of ethical consumption, civil society therefore tries to ensure the traceability of products imported from Israel, as the European Union has shown that it is incapable of implementing the 2005 technical agreement in accordance with international law.
You will understand that I am very sceptical and dubious that you will give us guarantees, as you should, on legally binding provisions ensuring that no more products from the settlements are entering the European market.
I should like to point out that, with regard to medicines, the children of Gaza not only do not have medicines, but do not even have access to drinking water or enough food to sustain themselves.
I think it is important to keep in mind the global context, which, from a humanitarian and human rights point of view, is a dramatic context, and we cannot content ourselves with simply talking about trade without talking about that."@en1
