<p>There are currently no plans for UK legislation to ban the import of products
from illegal settlements. We do not however recognise the Occupied Palestinian Territories
(OPTs), including the settlements, as part of Israel. In order to enable consumers
to make a more fully informed decision concerning the products they buy, in December
2009 the UK introduced voluntary guidelines to enable produce from Israeli settlements
in the OPTs to be specifically labelled as such. We understand that multiple British
retailers who have stocked settlement produce have adopted the labelling policy recommended
in the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs voluntary guidance.</p>
