Parliamentary questions
6 March 2012
E-002578/2012
Question for written answer
to the Commission (Vice-President/High Representative)
Rule 117
Ashley Fox (ECR)

 Subject: VP/HR — Israeli Supreme Court ruling
 Answer(s) 

One of my constituents has expressed concern over a recent ruling by Israel’s Supreme Court. The Court has decided that Israeli companies are entitled to profit from West Bank resources. This verdict came as a result of a petition by the Israeli human rights organisation Yesh Din which argued that mining in the West Bank, which is worth USD 900 million to Israeli companies, is illegal under Articles 43 and 55 of the Fourth Hague Convention.

What steps are being taken by the Vice-President/High Representative on the matter?
