Trade Between Ireland and the Palestinian Territories: Discussion

Mr. Martin Konený:

There is definitely scope for national authorities and it is usually the food authority, to prioritise the issue of the correct labelling of settlement products and put more emphasis on that in terms of inspections and checks of goods they are doing throughout the country. We have seen that some other countries have prioritised this issue and as a result, the proportion of correctly labelled products from Israel and settlements has increased. That would be possible and may be a worthwhile issue to pick up in Ireland as well.
