The government has incorrectly cited Teva Pharmaceuticals, one of

Israels biggest companies, as a business that stands to be hurt by new

European Union guidelines barring companies and institutions operating

over the Green Line from receiving any EU benefits, an expert on West

Bank geography said Sunday.

Teva appeared on a list released after a meeting convened by PrimeMinister Benjamin Netanyahu last Thursday to weigh the impact of the EU

rules, which were published last month and go into effect at the start of

next y ear. The company, the document asserted, would no longer be

entitled to EU benefits because two of its plants are in Jerusalems Har

Hotzvim industrial zone, in the northern part of the city .

In recent years, Teva has received some 200 million euros in EU loans, so

the new guidelines would have been significant if they applied to Teva.

However, the relevant maps reveals that both of Tevas Har Hotzvim

facilities are within the pre-1967 lines, as is the entire industrial zone. The

Green Line, Israels border before the 1967 Six Day War, runs just to the

north of the zone.

It would have been appropriate to check these matters with the

authorized agencies in Israel with regard to its borders, unless for political

motives, there was hidden intent here to be

misleading,

authority on the shifting political borders of the West

Bank.

The EU directive is expected to particularly hit

research institutions and research-oriented

companies, which risk losing EU funding if any of their

operations are located in the West Bank, East

Jerusalem or Golan Heights. Three weeks ago, the

Science and Tec hnology Ministry warned that the

guidelines would cut into Israeli research and

development budgets by around 40%. Most critically,

the ban could hurt funding to Israeli companies and

research institutes participating in the EUs Horizon

2020, an 80 billion-euro program running from 2014

to 2020. I n the previous Horizon program, which ran

from 2007 to 201 3, 1,900 research projects were

funded at Israeli universities, hospitals and companies,

with funding totaling 750 million euros.
