Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he is aware that Belgium has introduced guidelines requiring chain stores to specifically label agricultural products which come from Israel's illegal settlements in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights; and if, in view of the fact that he has added his name to the list of 16 European Union foreign Ministers who wrote to the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Ms Frederica Mogherini, in April 2015 calling for proper labelling of settlement products, and in the absence of European Union-wide legislation, he will consider following the example of the Belgian Government and introduce similar label guidelines here.
