Complaint Filed in Canada Against "Made in Palestine" Product Labels
(National Post-Canada) Barbara Kay - After the labeling of the wines of Psagot Winery, produced in a Jewish town in the West Bank, was challenged at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) by an anti-Israel activist who argued their label should not say "Israel," on Thursday lawyers filed a complaint with CFIA over olive oils labeled "Product of Palestine." The complaint was filed by Prof. Eugene Kontorovich of George Mason University Law School and Brooke Goldstein, executive director of the New York-based Lawfare Project. The complaint notes that the "State of Palestine" is a nonexistent entity unrecognized by Canada. Moreover, Canada's labeling regulations require that the Country of Origin be either a country or a World Trade Organization member. "Palestine" is neither.
