lpv:translated text	"Mr President, today we have a technical protocol before us, but we have said many times that international trade is not just about economic and commercial considerations. If we look at our own European Convention, we see that the action of the European Union rests on the pervasiveness of democracy, the rule of law, human rights and fundamental freedoms and compliance with the principles of the UN Charter and international law. The relationship between Israel and the EU, and the association agreement between them, must also be tested against all of that. With today’s protocol, we need to be 100% certain that the provisions of the protocol do not apply to goods or products produced in the occupied territories, because that is politics. We need to ask ourselves what signal we would be sending out if we simply accepted this protocol without questioning it. Because, unfortunately – and this is down to politics – the comprehensive peace agreement that we all want will not come about through the settlements issue. A debate on a protocol such as the one we are having today provides the European Union with several levers to ensure that the parties come closer to each other. Mr President, I will be voting in favour tomorrow, but I will be doing so with the proviso that the protocol is properly supervised by the European Commission."@en1
