answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2015 answer text <p>The principal feature of the Interpretative Notice is a recommendation that goods imported into the EU which originate from Israeli settlements in the territories occupied by Israel since 1967 should bear an indication which makes that provenance clear. That recommendation was included in technical advice to UK retailers and importers concerning labelling agricultural produce from the West Bank that was issued by Defra in 2009. We are currently in discussion with other Departments to consider whether revisions need to be made to the 2009 advice in the light of the Interpretative Notice. As regards sanctions and penalties for mis-labelling, these are dealt with in various pieces of legislation depending on the goods concerned.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 30/11/2015 17:36:37 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
