Dutch Parliament Votes Against Discriminatory Labeling of Settlement Products
(Times of Israel) The Dutch parliament on Tuesday voted 82-68 to call on the government to object to a European Court of Justice decision that ordered the labeling of Israeli goods made in West Bank settlements unless similar standards are applied to all disputed territories around the world. It deems the singling out of Israel in such regard as unfair and discriminatory. Israel has noted that there are more than 200 territorial disputes in the world, but that the European court had never ruled on any of them.
