[Ynet] European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
Ambassador to Israel Lars Faaborg-Andersen said Friday declarations from EU nations warning their citizens against investing in the Israeli-administered West Bank were expected.
"Business warnings should not come as a surprise. Member states losing patience with concerns not being addressed. If settlement expansion continues, more European nations will issue such warnings."

| So the Y'urp-peons decide to freeze out the Israelis. The Israelis in turn decide to sell their off-shore natural gas reserves to (say) China instead of Europe. Who loses first? |
Spain, Italy warn citizens regarding investments in Israeli businesses in West Bank
Italia and Spain recommended on Thursday that their citizens seek legal counsel before initiating business deals with companies working in the Israeli-administered West Bank.
The announcement echoes a similar statement released by the French Foreign Ministry earlier in the week, in which it called on French citizens to consult legal experts before investing beyond the Green Line. A senior Israeli diplomat told Ynet that the tally of major European powers to take such a step reached 5, including the UK and Germany. |
