Etiquetage Ethique ETIQUETAGE ETHIQUE Campagne de sensibilisation au respect des droits de l’homme, grandes distributions. L’Union européenne ne reconnaissant pas la souveraineté d’Israël sur les territoires qu’il occupe depuis juin 1967, de nombreuses législations sont venues régir l’application du droit des Etats membres concernant l’importation des produits issus des territoires occupés. La présente campagne de sensibilisation citoyenne vise à rappeler à chacun des interlocuteurs ses responsabilités dans l’application des législations nationales et européennes en vigueurs.

I - Législation de l'Union européenne Le 12 novembre 2015, la commission de l'Union Européenne publie dans son journal officiel la communication interprétative [2015/C 375/05 1 ] "relative à l’indication de l’origine des marchandises issues des territoires occupés par Israël depuis juin 1967", dans laquelle l'UE en conformité au droit international rappelle dans l'Art premier : "ne pas reconnaitre la souveraineté d’Israël sur les territoires qu’il occupe depuis le mois de juin 1967, à savoir le plateau du Golan, la bande de Gaza et la Cisjordanie, y compris Jérusalem-Est, et ne considère pas que ceux-ci font partie du territoire d’Israël". La présente communication traduit la lecture de la législation de l’Union, dont l’application des règles en vigueur relève de la responsabilité première des États membres, accordant toutefois à ceux-ci le choix des sanctions en cas de violation du droit de l’Union (Art 3). La commission rappelle dans ledit document les règlements antérieures, l'obligation de mentionner l'origine des produits importés dans l’Union européenne, avec une mention particulière (Art 7) pour les territoires occupés par Israël dont l’indication « produit en Israël » est considérée comme fausse et susceptible d’induire en erreur les consommateurs - voir Art 4 note n*6 : Pour les produits cosmétiques, l’article 19, paragraphe 1, point a), du règlement (CE) no 1223/2009. Pour les fruits et légumes frais, le règlement (UE) no 1308/2013. Pour le poisson, l’article 38 du règlement (UE) no 1379/2013. Pour le vin, l’article 119, paragraphe 1, point e), du règlement (UE) no 1308/2013, et l’article 55 du règlement (CE) no 607/2009. Pour l’huile d’olive, l’article 4 du règlement d’exécution (UE) no 29/2012. Pour le miel, l’article 2, point 4), de la directive 2001/110/CE. 1 Annexe 1 Février 2018 www.lavoixlibre.org 1 II – La législation En France Après de nombreuses questions des parlementaires, le 24 novembre 2016, le Ministère de l’Économie publie un avis 2 destiné aux opérateurs économiques relatif à l'indication de l'origine des marchandises issues des territoires occupés par Israël depuis juin 1967. Dès lors, les grandes distributions ignorants les législations, poursuivent les ventes issues des produits importés des territoires occupés de Cisjordanie et du Golan sous l'étiquetage "produit en d'Israël" La dernière question 3 en date du 30 novembre 2017 au Sénat reste toujours en attente de réponse. Le 24 novembre 2016, le Madame Christine Prunaud attire Ministère de l’Économie publie alors l'attention du Ministère de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères un avis destiné aux opérateurs sur l'indication d'origine des économiques. produits importés d'Israël et propose, à l'exemple de l'Afrique du sud, le Danemark et le Royaume- Uni, l'adoption de « codes de conduite » à destination des distributeurs dans notre pays, afin d'améliorer l'information du consommateur et de la rendre conforme à la législation existante. Toujours en attente de réponse, l'élue demande des précisions sur les engagements que compte prendre le Ministère de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères, pour instaurer une mention exacte sur l'origine des produits en provenance de ces territoires, lors de leur mise sur le marché. La Direction Générale de la Concurrence, de la Consommation et de la Répression des Fraudes (DGCCRF) est l'organisme du Ministère de l'Economie chargé des contrôles d'origines des produits importés en France, secondée par les directions départementales de la protection des populations (DDPP) et les directions départementales de la cohésion sociale et de la protection des populations (DDCSPP). 2 Annexe 2 3 Annexe 3 Février 2018 www.lavoixlibre.org 2 III – Produits issus des territoires occupés Selon l'Avis aux importateurs concernant les importations effectuées en provenance d’Israël à destination de l'UE (2012/C 232/03 4 ), il a été rappelé aux opérateurs en page 5 du JO que : " les marchandises produites dans les colonies de peuplement israéliennes implantées sur les territoires placés sous administration israélienne depuis juin 1967 ne peuvent pas bénéficier du régime tarifaire préférentiel prévu par l’accord d’association UE-Israël " (JO L 147 du 21.6.2000, p. 3.) Depuis le 1er février 2005, un arrangement technique 5 entre l’Union européenne et Israël précise que : " le nom et le code postal de la ville, du village ou de la zone industrielle où a eu lieu la production conférant le caractère originaire à la marchandise doivent figurer sur toutes les preuves de l'origine préférentielle délivrées ou établies en Israël". Une liste des lieux non admissibles 6 qui a été rendue publique et mise à jour au 1er juin 2015, suite au passage du système de codes postaux de 5 chiffres à 7 chiffres. Il est précisé que les boîtes postales ne sont toutefois pas une indication suffisamment fiable de l'endroit où a lieu la production de la marchandise. 4 Annexe 4 5 https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/business/calculation-customs-duties/rules-origin/general-aspects- preferential-origin/euisrael-technical-arrangement_fr Annexe 5 6 https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/sites/taxation/files/resources/documents/customs/customs_duties/rules_orig in/preferential/israel_ta/technical-arrangement_postal-codes.pdf Annexe 6 Février 2018 www.lavoixlibre.org 3 IV – Les colonies Israéliennes La solution défendue pour résoudre le conflit israélo- palestinien, serait la création de deux Etats distincts avec Jérusalem comme capitale commune. Solution à laquelle la France est favorable. Actuellement les territoires occupés de Cisjordanie sont divisés en 3 zones, la C étant sous contrôle total d’Israël, cette zone représente plus de 70% des terres et ressources Cisjordaniens. Elle scinde et asphyxie les zones (A-B) sous contrôle de l’autorité Palestinienne dans lesquelles vivent plus de 80% de la population palestinienne dans les 30% de terres restantes. Illégales au regard du droit international, les quelque 250 colonies israéliennes implantées en Cisjordanie et au Golan, constituent l’un des principaux obstacles aux négociations de paix. Les terres palestiniennes colonisées concentrent la majeure partie des terres cultivables, des réserves en eau et autres ressources naturelles. L’impossibilité pour la Palestine d’y déployer des activités économiques entraîne, selon la Banque mondiale, un manque à gagner d’environ 3,4 milliards de dollars, soit environ 1/3 du PIB palestinien. Paradoxalement à l’occupation un grand nombre de Palestiniens n’ont d’autres solutions que de trouver du travail dans les colonies, principalement dans les secteurs de la construction, de l’agriculture et de l’industrie. Les conséquences des activités économiques des colonies illégales implantées dans les territoires occupés de Cisjordanie et du Golan, en plus de générer 4% de bénéfices au PIB annuel d’Israël et de produire des profits à travers leurs productions ; les implantations d’entreprises étrangères et l’investissement des banques locales et étrangères, ces colonies illégales causent également des déplacements forcés ; des inégalités et discriminations ainsi que l’accaparement des terres et ressources vitales pour les autochtones.

  • The New Israeli Land Reform August 2009
    Adalah’s Newsletter, Volume 63, August 2009 The New Israeli Land Reform August 2009 Background On 3 August 2009, the Knesset (Israeli parliament) passed the Israel Land Administration (ILA) Law (hereinafter the “Land Reform Law”), with 61 Members of Knesset (MKs) voting in favor of the law and 45 MKs voting against it. The new land reform law is wide ranging in scope: it institutes broad land privatization; permits land exchanges between the State and the Jewish National Fund (Keren Kayemet Le-Israel) (hereinafter - the “JNF”), the land of which is exclusively reserved for the Jewish people; allows lands to be allocated in accordance with "admissions committee" mechanisms and only to candidates approved by Zionist institutions working solely on behalf of the Jewish people; and grants decisive weight to JNF representatives in a new Land Authority Council, which would replace the Israel Land Administration (ILA). The land privatization aspects of the new law also affect extremely prejudicially properties confiscated by the state from Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel; Palestinian refugee property classified as “absentee” property; and properties in the occupied Golan Heights and in East Jerusalem. Land Privatization Policy The law stipulates that 800,000 dunams of land currently under state-control will be privatized, enabling private individuals to acquire ownership rights in them. The reform will lead to the transfer of ownership in leased properties and land governed by outline plans enabling the issuance of building permits throughout the State of Israel in the urban, rural and agricultural sectors. Change in the organizational structure of the Israel Lands Administration The reform further stipulates a broad organizational re-structuring of the ILA.

In Israel, these optimal conditions exist in the Golan Heights. As in other premier wine regions worldwide, everything in this magical strip of land begins with the right conditions, a combination of volcanic basaltic soil, suit- able topography and high altitude resulting in cool climate found in the Golan. This is what gives the Golan Heights its second name: “Wine Country.” Over the years, the distinctive wines of the Golan Heights Winery have become world-renowned, winning dozens of awards at prestigious international competitions. Indeed, the Winery has placed Israel on the world wine map. Since its founding in 1983, the Golan Heights Winery has created four leading brands – Yarden, Gamla, Hermon and Golan. Today, it is considered Israel’s leading winery when it comes to wine quality, technological innovation, and new variety development. The Winery has played a significant role in nurturing the country’s current wine culture, and has altered the way Israeli wines are perceived worldwide.

    Written Testimony of Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein1 Hearing on: A NEW HORIZON IN U.S.-ISRAEL RELATIONS: FROM AN AMERICAN EMBASSY IN JERUSALEM TO POTENTIAL RECOGNITION OF ISRAELI SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE GOLAN HEIGHTS Before the House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security Tuesday July 17, 2018, 10:00 a.m. Rayburn House Office Building, Room 2154 Chairman Ron DeSantis (R-FL) Ranking Member Stephen Lynch (D-MA) Introduction & Summary Chairman DeSantis, Vice Chairman Russell, Ranking Member Lynch, and Members of the Committee: Thank you for holding this hearing to discuss the potential for American recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, in furtherance of U.S. national security interests. Israeli sovereignty over the western two-thirds of the Golan Heights is a key bulwark against radical regimes and affiliates that threaten the security and stability of the United States, Israel, the entire Middle East region, and beyond. The Golan Heights consists of strategically-located high ground, that provides Israel with an irreplaceable ability to monitor and take counter-measures against growing threats at and near the Syrian-Israel border. These growing threats include the extremely dangerous hegemonic expansion of the Iranian-Syrian-North Korean axis; and the presence in Syria, close to the Israeli border, of: Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Quds forces; thousands of Iranian-armed Hezbollah fighters; Palestinian Islamic Jihad (another Iranian proxy); Syrian forces; and radical Sunni Islamist groups including the al Nusra Levantine Conquest Front (an incarnation of al Qaeda) and ISIS. The Iranian regime is attempting to build an 800-mile land bridge to the Mediterranean, running through Iraq and Syria.

  • Israel, Middle East
    Review of the Year OTHER COUNTRIES Israel and the Middle East Israel X HE VIOLENCE THAT BEGAN in late 2000 and continued all through 2001—featuring Palestinian suicide bombings aimed at pro- ducing a maximum of Israeli casualties, and Israeli reprisals—did not abate in 2002; in fact, it intensified. Tough new measures by the Likud- led coalition, including stepped-up "targeted killings'1 of terror kingpins and large-scale incursions into Palestinian areas—such as Operation De- fensive Shield in the spring—brought only temporary halts to the attacks on Israelis and sharp criticism from around the world. An exception to the unsympathetic attitude toward Israel in world cap- itals was that of the American government. Although President George W. Bush became the first president explicitly to call for a Palestinian state, he delivered a speech on June 24 announcing that the Palestinian National Authority would have to undergo democratization, renounce terror, and select new leadership (that is, not Yasir Arafat) first. Toward the end of the year, with a U.S. strike on Iraq looming, the U.S., the UN, the European Union (EU), and the chief European powers promoted a "road map," charting steps that Israel and the Palestinians might take to reach an ultimate settlement. The security crisis loomed large over Israeli life. The economy, already hard-hit by more than a year of violence, suffered further blows. And while the Labor Party left the coalition and brought down the government on October 30 ostensibly over a budgetary matter, what was really at stake was whether Labor could devise a strategy for stopping the bloodshed that would be both different from Likud's and convincing to the voters.

  • Israel's Next Front: Syria | the Washington Institute
    MENU Policy Analysis / Articles & Op-Eds Israel's Next Front: Syria by David Schenker Mar 14, 2013 ABOUT THE AUTHORS David Schenker David Schenker is the Taube Senior Fellow at The Washington Institute and former Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs. Articles & Testimony The Israeli-Syrian border is quiet no more, as armed Islamist rebels pledge to take back the Golan Heights. or the better part of 40 years, the Syrian border has been the quietest of Israel's frontiers. Notwithstanding F Israel's 1973 capture and subsequent annexation of Syrian territory in the Golan and Bashar Assad's ongoing support for terrorist organizations targeting the Jewish state, the border has been tranquil since the signing of the 1974 armistice. Indeed, the boundary with Syria -- a state officially still at war with Israel -- has proven even more secure than Israel's lengthy borders with its nominal peace partners Egypt and Jordan. But two years into the popular armed revolt against the Assad regime, this de facto peace along the Israeli-Syrian border seems to be in grave danger. Just consider the past few weeks: On March 2, three Syrian mortars landed outside Moshav Ramat Magshimim in the southern Golan Heights. Then on March 6, Syrian rebels kidnapped 21 U.N. peacekeepers patrolling the Golan Heights; they were held for a week prior to their release. On Monday, Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Benny Gantz said that "the threat of the situation in Syria spiraling out if control is quite high." He added: "What we have here is a strategic detonator that could blow up at any moment." Reports from Syria over the past months have indicated that foreign fighters -- from Libya to Jordan to Iraq -- have been participating in the rebellion against the Assad regime.

    Editor: Nurit Felter-Eitan, Authority Secretary & Spokeswoman All information provided in this report is provided for information purposes only and does not constitute a legal act. The hebrew translation is the current and accurate information. Information in this report is subject to change without prior notice. Greetings, I am delighted to hereby present the Israel Public Utility Authority’s (Electricity) biennial activity report for the years 2012-2011. This report summarizes the Authority’s Assembly’s extensive and meticulous work, assisted by the Authority’s team of professional employees, over the past two years, signifying a turning point in the Israeli electricity and energy markets. Alongside a severe energy crisis that befell the electricity market in the past two years due to the discontinuation of natural gas supply from Egypt and the creation of a gas supply monopoly, these years have seen a historic change in the electricity market, commencing with the admission of private electricity entrepreneurship and clean electricity production in significant capacities (the Authority’s projection for private electricity production is 25% by 2016, and approximately 10% for electricity production using renewable energy by 2020). As a result of the natural gas crisis, which began in 2011 due to recurring explosions in the gas lines leading from Egypt to Israel, the Electricity Authority was faced with a reality that would have forced it to instantly and radically increase in the electricity tariffs for the Israeli consumers in 2012. These circumstances led the Authority to combine forces with government bodies, including the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and lead a comprehensive move which significantly restrained the tariff increase, and furthermore, relieved the electricity consumers’ burden in a manner that enabled spreading the tariff increase over three years.

It applies as of 1/6/2015 and replaces the previous list which remains available on the webpage for consultation purposes. Preferential tariff treatment will be refused to products for which the proof of origin indicates that the production conferring originating status has taken place in a locality within the territories brought under Israeli administration since June 1967, the postal code of which appears in Part I of the list. For postal codes of localities appearing in Part II of the list, importers are invited to consult the customs office where they intend to lodge the relevant declaration for release for free circulation in order to verify the exact position, and thus eligibility for preference, of the place of production conferring originating status. PO boxes are not a sufficiently reliable indication of the place where production conferring origin takes place.
