I have been to Brussels. I was a member of the European Parliament. I made these arguments and I will be concrete. Elbit received an EU contribution of over €400,000 for its participation in the FLYSEC project which integrates new technologies on video surveillance, intelligent remote image processing and biometrics combined with big data analysis, open source intelligence and crowd sourcing. It is an Israeli armaments company. It is used against the Palestinians, people who have their land occupied. The same applies in different systems, for Israeli aerospace systems, for Technion. This is a very simple question. Does the Commissioner agree that no EU money, money that comes from European citizens, should end up with Israeli armaments companies?
