The UK example

In a debate in the UK House of Commons on 27 January 2010 [1], Labour MP, Dr Phyllis Starkey raised a number of issues in relation to settlement goods including:

1. Ways in which Israeli companies can avoid paying duties by providing an address across the Green Line;
2. Traceability systems (which exist primarily to meet food safety requirements) are not used by the British customs authorities to deny preferential treatment to settlement goods;
3. The use of non-renewable resources in occupied territory is contrary to Article 55 of the Hague Convention on the Laws and Customs of War on Land.
