§ Dr. StarkeyTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he has taken to ascertain whether, (1) prior to the conclusion of an internationally recognised final settlement ending Israel's occupation of the territories it has occupied since 1967, parties to international agreements with Israel can permit their agreements to be implemented in a manner which treats any part of those occupied territories as falling within the territory of the State of Israel without themselves contravening public international law; [115194]
(2) extending the benefits of trade preferences to enterprises established by Israeli nationals in the territories occupied by Israel since 1967 (a) de jure and (b) de facto would, prior to the conclusion of an internationally recognised final settlement ending Israel's occupation, contravene the duties on the UK and its European partners under Article 1 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. [115195]
§ Mr. HainGreat care is taken to avoid contravening international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention.
