EU nears decision on labelling products from Israeli settlements

The European Union will soon decide on labelling rules to inform consumers if imported Israeli products come from Jewish settlements in occupied Palestinian territories, the EU‘s top diplomat said on Saturday.
Some EU countries, including Britain, already issue guidance to shops so consumers can see if goods are made in the settlements that most countries consider illegal, rather than within Israel‘s recognised borders.
