"Mr President, it is urgent and indeed imperative to break the blockade Israel is imposing on Palestine and its people in defiance of international law and all the relevant UN resolutions.
In proposing that this agreement be approved, the Commission, nonetheless, cannot ignore the reality on the ground – a reality which, as heard here today, is one of a brutal and illegal occupation that along with many other factors is creating innumerable obstacles to Palestinian exports and imports, quite aside from the daily obstructions to and restrictions on the movement of people and goods.Furthermore, this agreement necessarily raises another question: namely, trade relations between the European Union and the State of Israel, it being no secret, indeed it is known full well, that products originating in the Israeli settlements enter the European market under this agreement – under existing agreements with Israel – despite the fact that more than a decade ago the Commission itself held that no settlement in the occupied territories could be considered Israeli territory.In the face of this well-known problem the Commission is dumping this problem on the Member States and abrogating its own responsibilities. All of this ultimately underscores that it is more than time to recognise the independence of the State of Palestine in accordance with the petition presented to the United Nations by the Palestinian National Authority as an indispensable step towards the just resolution of this conflict according to international law."@en1
