Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for International Trade on the potential merits of a requirement for imports from Israeli settlements on the West Bank to have a movement certificate stating their country and location of origin.
According to the arrangement between Israel and the UK for the implementation of the UK-Israel Trade and Partnership Agreement, all movement certificates for imports from Israel and the illegal settlements must include the postal code and the name of the city, village or industrial zone conferring originating status. Products produced in Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories are not entitled to benefit from preferential tariff treatment.
