<p>We regularly make clear our serious concerns about the situation in East Jerusalem
to the Israeli authorities and the Municipality of Jerusalem, both bilaterally and
in co-operation with EU partners. These concerns include: the evictions of Palestinians
and demolition of Palestinian property; the construction of illegal Israeli settlements;
removal of residency rights from Palestinians; possible unilateral changes to the
municipal borders; and severe difficulties of access to Jerusalem for Palestinians
from the West Bank, or for those residents of Jerusalem who live beyond the Separation
Barrier. The EU issued a statement on 24 November raising concerns over this issue.</p>
