Diplomat says move is part of Israeli response to new settlement
guidelines; Ashton's
spokesperson: EU hasn't received official communication on
orders to limit work with EU on
the ground, is seeking 'urgent clarifications.'
EU (finally) applies own law on Israeli settlements
On 16 July, the European Commission announced new guidelines
intended to prevent this
from happening. It is a bit of EU housekeeping that is so
obvious, it is hard to see why it was
not done long ago. Legally speaking, the guidelines are not
sanctions on Israel, or even on the
settlements. They are a belated and necessary effort to
correctly implement the EUs own law
and to keep its hands clean.
Catherine Ashton: Israeli settlement products to be labeled in
EU by end of 2013
European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton is seeking
to draft comprehensive
guidelines on labeling settlement products by the end of this
year, she told several senior EU
officials
Statement by EU High Representative Catherine Ashton on the
publication of guidelines on
Israel and EU funding instruments
Today the EU published a document that reiterates the long-held
position that bilateral
agreements with Israel do not cover the territory that came
under Israel's administration in
June 1967. This is meant to clarify the EU's position in advance
of negotiations of agreements
with Israel during the forthcoming financial perspective
commencing in 2014.
EU: Future agreements with Israel wont apply to territories
Jerusalem says decree will make it impossible to sign accords
with Brussels without
recognizing in writing that West Bank settlements are not part
of Israel. The European
Union has published guidelines to all 28 member states
forbidding any funding, cooperation,
awarding of scholarships, research funds or prizes to anyone
residing in the Jewish
settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The regulation,
which goes into effect on
Friday, requires that any agreement or contract signed by an EU
country with Israel include a
clause stating that the settlements are not part of the State of
Israel and therefore are not part
of the agreement.
