"This report advocates taking the first step towards the full integration of Israel into the European single market. Under the pretext of complete liberalisation of the trading of pharmaceuticals between the EU and Israel, the Protocol approved by this text actually makes it possible to include new products and services in this free-trade agreement without any prior or subsequent parliamentary approval.
I am opposed to this Protocol because it reinforces free trade, but also because of the political signal it sends out. At a time when the Israeli Government is continuing its policy of aggressive settlement and maintaining a blockade on Gaza in spite of international law, this Protocol strengthens its trade relations with the Union without asking for any guarantees about the origin of the products in question. In ratifying this Protocol, the Union would be sending out a dangerous message about compliance with international law. I voted against this text."@en1
