Proposed Belgian ban on goods from Israeli settlements
Official title: Wetsvoorstel tot instelling van een verbod in België op de invoer, aankoop, verkoop en tussenhandeldiensten met betrekking tot goederen afkomstig uit de Israëlische nederzettingen in de bezette Palestijnse gebieden (OPT), alsook op elke handeling die bedoeld is om die verboden te omzeilen.
Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- The proposal bans the import, purchase, sale, and brokering in Belgium of goods originating from Israeli settlements in occupied territories, as well as any circumvention.
- Businesses and traders importing products from Israel are most affected; they must prove the origin of goods and face penalties if they violate the ban.
- As a consumer, you will no longer find these specific goods in Belgian stores, while standard trade with Israel itself remains permitted.
