"Despite the main aim of this report being to approve certain technical changes to the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement, this cannot be dissociated from the central issue inherent in this Agreement. As we had the opportunity to state when the Protocol on Conformity Assessment and Acceptance of Industrial Products (CAA) was approved, we strongly condemn this Agreement. We condemn the EU’s deplorable and hypocritical attitude of total complacency with regard to the crimes committed by Israel against the Palestinian people. We are again discussing this Agreement at a time when the State of Israel is conducting a series of violent attacks on the Gaza Strip, which have already resulted in tens of deaths, including those of civilians and children. The hypocritical ‘human rights’ clauses which the EU includes in its agreements serve no purpose in such cases. Not once have they been applied in order to suspend the Agreement, as was necessary given the systematic violations of human rights by Israel. This EU policy of double standards becomes clearly apparent when you consider the human rights violations that are cited in order to impose various types of sanctions on other states."@en1
