Europe’s Complicity in Palestinian Dispossession through Settlement Agricultural Trade
Global Echo’s four-year investigation reveals for the first time the mechanisms through which millions of euros’ worth of agricultural products from Israeli settlements enter European markets unlawfully.
Importing Occupation is based on a body of evidence amassed by Global Echo, of a kind not seen before, that analyzes close to 6,000 Israeli agricultural exports to Europe from the past eight years. It details a complex and widespread system by which agricultural goods produced in illegal Israeli settlements are regularly imported to Europe as if they were Israeli: declaring eligibility for preferential tax treatment on ineligible settlement goods, holding invalid organic and plant health certifications, and bearing the label, “Product of Israel” — violating European law, policy, and trade agreements."
