Czech Parliament Rejects Labeling Goods from Israeli Settlements
(Reuters) The Czech Assembly called on the government on Thursday to ignore EU rules on labeling goods from Israeli settlements, joining Hungary in breaking ranks over the divisive regulations. The parliament's lower house said the new EU guidelines were "motivated by a political positioning versus the State of Israel." The parliamentary resolution was supported by all government and opposition parties except for the Communists. Culture Minister Daniel Hermann said, "It is necessary to reject these attempts that try to discriminate against the only democracy in the Middle East."
