Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Palestine and Israel: Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel

3:00 pm

Ms Jenn Byrne:

I came back last month from an advocacy week in the European Parliament, where we had representatives from 15 EU member states talking to their MEPs. We also met with the European External Action Service and talked to them about the plan to ban settlement goods at EU level. It is stalled and is going nowhere - that is an honest answer. It is up to individual member states to take that action as it will not be done at European level.
