tabling member printed	Lord Warner
uin	HL1710
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/08/2014 answer text In order to secure a lasting ceasefire, it will be vital to address the underlying causes of the conflict, including easing access restrictions to open up the economy of Gaza, whilst addressing Israel’s legitimate security concerns. There cannot simply be a return to the status quo ante. The UK will work with international partners, including the EU and the UN, to support this goal. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 18/08/2014 09:53:01 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

uin	HL1711
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/08/2014 answer text <p>The UK aims to have one of the most rigorous and transparent export licence regimes in the world with strict criteria governing the provision of licences. On 11 August the British Government announced the findings of its review of licensed exports to Israel. It found that the vast majority of exports currently licensed for Israel are not for items that could be used by Israeli forces in operations in Gaza in response to attacks by Hamas. <br><br>However, twelve licences were identified for components which could be part of equipment used by the IsraelI Defence Forces in Gaza. Currently there is a ceasefire in place and the Government continues to urge both sides to respect this and to secure a lasting end to hostilities through the negotiations taking place in Cairo. However, in the event of a resumption of significant hostilities, the Government is concerned that it would not be able to clarify if the export licence criteria were being met. It would therefore suspend these licences as a precautionary step.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 18/08/2014 09:36:06 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/08/2014 answer text While the issue of settlement produce is a subject of active discussion with our EU partners, the Government has no plans to take this further internationally. We are working together to ensure continued, full and effective implementation of existing EU legislation and bilateral arrangements applicable to settlement products. This ongoing work includes measures to ensure that settlement produce does not enter the EU duty-free, under the EU-Israel Association Agreement, and steps to ensure that EU-wide guidelines are issued to make sure that settlement products are not incorrectly labelled as Israeli produce, in violation of EU consumer protection regulations. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 18/08/2014 09:54:16 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
