"I support this new trade agreement with the Palestinian Authority which will give farm and fishery produce from Palestine duty free access to the European market. The Palestinian Authority is the EU’s smallest trading partner: exports from the two territories to the EU totalled just EUR 6.1 million in 2009. The trade agreement has the potential to help the region to develop economically. However, there remain two serious obstacles to economic development. Firstly, the illegal blockade of Gaza suffocates economic life there reducing a population of 1.5 million to a subsistence existence dependent on an under-funded UNRWA for food, work and education. Secondly, there are serious ‘origin’ concerns about products manufactured in Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land gaining access to the European market under the EU-Israel Trade Agreement. Following the ECJ 2010 ruling on the Brita case, the customs authorities of the importing Member States may refuse to grant the preferential treatment provided for under the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement where the goods concerned originate in settlements."@en1
