One cannot implement a law that has not passed yet. The point is that those companies are regularly implementing and having to comply with other kinds of laws in respect of services at both UN and EU levels. This is simply a new law. Of course one does not comply with law that does not exist as yet.

We know that with respect to some of the kinds of businesses involved, including in the hospitality area, there is clear documentation and receipts have issued in respect of services that have been sold within the occupied territories.
