EU Boycott Threat Is Overstated
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - A senior European diplomatic official on Tuesday downplayed warnings that Europe could boycott Israeli goods if progress was not made on the peace process. He said a boycott of Israeli goods was highly unlikely, pointing out that businessmen in a number of European countries are keen on partnering with Israeli companies to use their technology and innovation in opening up markets in third countries, often in the Far East. The official said that even a European boycott just on products from settlements would run into a great deal of difficulty in the EU, with a number of countries - such as Germany, the Netherlands and others - likely to oppose it.
