Israeli settlers' products face EU tariffs
Agreement has been reached in a wrangle between the European Commission and Israel over goods made in Palestinian territories in the West Bank and Gaza.

Goods produced in Israeli settlements in the occupied territories will no longer be allowed to enter the EU tariff-free under the new agreement.

Under the deal, goods exported by Israel to the EU will be labelled with a town of origin as well as nationality

The goods, including palm oil and fruit juice, are worth $200m (£110m) a year.

Low-tech goods

Goods produced in the occupied territories are not covered by a trade agreement signed in 2000 between the EU and Israel, which offers low or zero tariff access. ..........
