Britain Pressing EU to Curb Exports from Israeli Settlements
[Independent-UK] Donald Macintyre - Britain is taking the lead in pressing the EU to curb imports from Israeli producers in the West Bank. An internal EU note circulated by the UK expresses concern that goods produced from the settlements may be entering Britain. Several retailers, including Tesco, Sainsbury, Waitrose and Somerfield, say they import food - such as organic herbs - grown on settlements, and that by designating the goods as "West Bank" they are complying with EU requirements to denote the area of origin.
