Norway has decided to label products manufactured in the illegal Israeli settlements built on occupied Palestinian territories to distinguish them from Israeli products.
The Norwegian Foreign Ministry announced that the “Israel” origin will only be valid for goods that come from territories controlled by Israel before June 4, 1967.
“Food goods from Israeli-occupied areas must be labeled with the area where the product comes from and whether it comes from an Israeli settlement, if that is the case,” according to the Norwegian government.
This measure will apply to the occupied territories in the Golan Heights, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
Norway said in a statement that the principle behind this labelling is that consumers should not be misled by the labelling on the origin of products.
