| [Iran Press TV] More than a dozen European governments have called for the accurate labeling of goods produced at the illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank in a bid to allow potential customers in Europe to know of the illegal origins of the commodities. On Thursday, foreign ministers from 16 member states of the 28-member European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... sent a letter to the politico-economic bloc's foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, asking her to expedite the process of accurately labeling Israeli settlement goods that are sold in grocery chains across the region. "We would like to draw your attention to the letter dated April 13, 2013, and sent to your predecessor (Catherine Ashton) on EU wide guidelines on the labeling of settlement produce/products," the letter read. "[The] continued expansion of Israeli illegal settlements in the occupied Paleostinian territory, and other territories occupied by Israel since 1967, threatens the prospect of a just and final peace agreement," the letter read. |
