Question 11846 — foreign policy

Summary

Mr. Régis Juanico draws the attention of the Minister of Economy and Finance to the importation of products from Israeli colonies in occupied Palestine. The illegality of Israeli settlement was reiterated by United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334, which demanded that Israel "immediately and completely stop all settlement activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem." and asked “all States […] to make a distinction, in their exchanges on this matter, between the territory of the State of Israel and the territories occupied since 1967”. The European Union has certainly published an interpretative communication on the labeling of the origin of products coming from territories occupied by Israel since 1967. This communication was followed by the publication of an opinion in France aimed at economic operators published on November 24, 2016, which theoretically allows French consumers to distinguish between products coming from Israel and those coming from illegal colonies established in the Occupied Palestinian Territory or in the occupied Golan. But differentiated labeling, apart from the difficulties encountered in its implementation, remains insufficient. France must respect international law humanitarian and comply with its obligations not to provide aid or assistance to illegal settlements. This implementation must therefore result in a ban on the importation of colony products. Also, he wishes to know the steps that the Government is considering with a view to prohibiting the importation of colony products.
