"Mr President, Commissioner, it is high time that the European Union abided by its own commitments and undertakings. Under Article 2 of the association agreement, we must not improve trade relations with Israel while there is daily proof that it is guilty of human rights violations.
Any such improvement both infringes the agreement and neutralises the only specific instrument at our disposal for putting pressure on Israel to honour its obligations in terms of human rights and humanitarian law, both inside Israel and in the occupied Palestinian territories.
We are therefore against giving our consent to this agreement. The only condition on which the European Parliament could agree would be in return for satisfactory assurance that the EU will ban imports of Israeli goods from East Jerusalem and the occupied Palestinian territories.
How will you ensure that products from the occupied Palestinian territories are not being imported into the European Union under false certificates of origin? Will you create a simple, effective and reliable mechanism to establish their origin, such as product labelling to replace the current technical arrangement, as called for by the European Parliament in its resolution dated 10 February?"@en1
