lpv:translated text	". Mr President, it goes without saying that I wish the agricultural sector and the fishing sector in the Palestinian territories all the best. In light of that I have not the slightest difficulty – the opposite is the case, in fact – with this agreement. What I do have difficulty with, however – and other Members have mentioned this already – is the blockade that those on the left of the House have erected against the trade agreement with Israel, and the fact that they have been doing so for over a year already. I do still also find the rapporteur’s explanatory statement problematic. She said to me in the Committee on International Trade that she would not alter it at all, and she has been true to her word. However, I can still see a number of serious flaws. There are four very specific flaws that I would like to mention at this point because they actually besmirch Israel’s name and are also irrelevant to this report. First of all, Palestinian exporters choose of their own accord to work with Israeli export facilities and operate in Jordan and Egypt because of corruption. Secondly, the regulation of products from the settlements – and I am sure you will have heard this too, Mr Cioloş – is being enforced to the satisfaction of the European Commission. Thirdly, the Palestinian Authority has itself voluntarily chosen to form part of the customs envelope with Israel because of all the advantages that it currently enjoys through all the customs agreements that Israel has concluded with third countries. Finally, Mr President, apart from investors from Iran or from Arab countries that have no official relations with Israel, it is possible for every investor to obtain a visa, contrary to what the rapporteur claims."@en1
