"Mr President, the EU acting as the EU is actually in a much stronger position than many of our Member States to intervene within this crisis. We have cleaner hands than most and a clear set of values upon which we are founded and exist to promote, so it is those values enshrined in international law that we need to be consistent in upholding. I will not repeat comments made by other colleagues, I will focus specifically on labelling of settlement produce because I think this is a small but psychologically significant lever that is entirely at our control and which I think does have a disproportionate effect within Israel.
Let us be clear. Israel has a right to exist and has a right to expect security within its own borders. It does not have a right to illegally occupy Palestinian land or allow settlers to illegally occupy Palestinian land and exploit it for their profit.
Ms Mogherini, I was very pleased to hear you announce just last Saturday that the EU will be pressing on with labelling of illegal produce. Could you give us some more details of that, and a timescale whereby our citizens and our consumers can expect to see illegally-produced produce properly marked as such?"@en1
