"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, as we have said, this is a protocol of a technical nature relating to the production of pharmaceutical products, and has already been negotiated by the Commission and approved by the Council in 2010. It cannot be considered as an upgrade of relations with Israel, as Baroness Ashton declared here in Parliament.
The Commission has also stated that no changes are needed to this agreement and, moreover, the high quality of the medicinal products involved and the economic benefits for national health care systems have been confirmed. The Italian health care system, for example, would save millions of euro in patient care costs.
My conviction is that in fact, opposition to this agreement is of a purely political nature, with the aim of boycotting Israel. Those who oppose this agreement for political reasons should therefore also oppose trade agreements with China, which is occupying Tibet, with Russia, occupying part of Georgia, Armenia, occupying Nagorno-Karabakh, and with any states guilty of serious human rights violations, which amounts to two-thirds of humanity."@en1
