Ausschuss für Auswärtige Angelegenheiten (AFET) - Europäisches Parlament

Foreign Affairs MEPs praised efforts from both the government and the FARC rebel group to end the internal conflict raging in Colombia for over 50 years and urged the EU to support the peace-building efforts, during a public hearing on Thursday.
Just one week after the Chamber demonstrated unanimous support to the peace process in Colombia in a resolution, MEPs have acclaimed the political effort, realism and perseverance shown by both the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) to bring the Colombian peace process to a successful conclusion. 23 March, the deadline set by the negotiators, is a realistic timeframe to conclude an agreement, they said.
Foreign Affairs Committee members quizzed Colombia's High Commissioner for Peace, Sergio Jaramillo, FARC Head Negotiator Iván Márquez and the EU Special Envoy for the Peace Process in Colombia, Eamon Gilmore, about risks of the peace process, stressing the importance of reaching a fair and sustainable agreement and of its full implementation. MEPs also raised the issues of narco-trafficking, rural development, political participation by the FARC and the planned setup of an EU trust fund.

Mr. Elmar Brok, Chairman of the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, welcomed the latest Council conclusions on the Middle East Peace Process and, in particular, the statement that the EU strongly opposes any boycott of Israel.
Chairman Brok said: 'The Commission's interpretative notice on indication of origin of goods from the territories occupied by Israel in 1967, popularly referred to as 'labelling guidelines', has nothing to do with a boycott, with sanctions or with discrimination against Israel. The notice doesn't introduce any new law or rule. It only clarifies the uniform implementation of EU law across its Member States. More importantly, it doesn't bar settlement products from entering Europe. They will just not benefit from trade preferences. Products originating from within Israel's internationally recognised borders will continue to benefit from preferential tariff treatment. I am against boycotting them'.

The products potentially affected by the EU's 'labelling guidelines' represent less than 1% of total trade between the EU and Israel.
