If no more surprise happens, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) at the request of German authorities in the near future an explicitly political decision and a ruling by the Israeli settlements in the disputed areas declared illegal and de facto impose sanctions against Israel.

occasion of the forthcoming decision of the Court a request from the German company Brita GmbH for refund of entry fee is € 19155.46. This sum had conceded the Hamburg customs, when the company had imported a cargo of soda ash manufacturer equipment of the Israeli club. In one wondered at Brita, for the import of Israeli goods into the European Union under an agreement between the European Community and the Jewish state in November 1995, duty-free. The HZA Hamburg-Hafen wanted to know yet competent by the Israeli customs authority exactly where the goods were produced, and was not satisfied with the truthful answer, she came from an "area under Israeli customs administration. Since its products can be produced Soda Club in the east of Jerusalem, Israeli settlement of Ma'ale Adumim, the German officials were finally powerful sovereign arbitrariness, the declaration "Made in Israel" is erroneous, and used to import a duty.

contrast Brita complained before the Tax Court of Hamburg, which in turn - as the matter falls under European law - the ECJ for a so-called preliminary ruling asked. This decision has been taken yet though, last Thursday published der EuGH-Generalanwalt Yves Bot jedoch seinen Schlussantrag, und diesen Plädoyers folgen die Luxemburger Richter in aller Regel. Bot bestätigte in seinen Ausführungen dem deutschen Zoll, richtig gehandelt zu haben, als er Abgaben für die Einfuhr der Sodageräte nahm. Er wolle daran erinnern, verlautbarte Bot, „dass die Grenzen Israels durch den Teilungsplan für Palästina festgelegt wurden, der am 29. November 1947 von den Vereinten Nationen angenommen wurde“. Nach diesem Plan seien „die Gebiete Westjordanland und Gazastreifen kein Teil des Gebiets Israels“; dort erzeugte Güter fielen daher nicht unter das Freihandelsabkommen zwischen der EG und dem jüdischen Staat. Auch auf das europäische Abkommen with the PLO in 1997 could claim Brita, because this would have the Palestinian authorities must sign the verification.

should follow the Court expected its advocate general, He Should that order on the request of German authorities toward an original political and binding for all EU states decision: he would Israeli settlements in the disputed areas consistently declared illegal by the collection of duties effectively sanctions take against Israel and thus statuieren an example which would have far-reaching consequences for Israel - both politically and economically, after all, the EU for the Jewish state after the USA's second-largest market. The former black-red government had welcomed the approach of the Hamburg customs office specifically: a duty-free "goods from the occupied territories" could not give it, it was early June in response to an inquiry by the Greens in the Bundestag. On this view, is likely to remain in the black-yellow coalition ahead. "While the U.S. government has only rhetorical pressure on the Israeli settlement policy, the EU trusts already a step further," exulted as well as Christoph Schult in Spiegel-Online.
The fact that the ECJ Advocate General of the Partition Resolution the UN from 1947 to the basis of his application was lacking, by the way is a certain piquancy - and not only because the Arab states flatly rejected him known. Rather, future could include products from other places of Israel today no longer be imported duty free to Europe on this basis, for example if they come from Acre, which had been allocated in the partition plan a prospective Arab state. Maybe you should use the Attorney General and to the Conference of Khartoum from 1967 recall on which the Arab states not only turned down the Israeli offer to negotiate the return to the Six-Day War, Israel conquered territories - the earlier by Jordan (West Bank), respectively, Egypt (Gaza Strip) were illegally occupied - but also their "triple no" has become famous proclaimed: No to peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no to negotiations with Israel.

Finally, it is noteworthy that both the main customs office to deny Hamburg port and the ECJ Advocate General's decision, products from the disputed areas are free of duty, has in effect made the old position of the notorious Mufti of Jerusalem to self: Do not square inch of the holy Muslim soil for a sovereign Jewish state. For the meantime 40,000 Residents, the city of Ma'ale Adumim, home to the company's Soda Club is one of the few Israeli settlements, both by the peace plan of former U.S. President Bill Clinton in December 2000 and according to the ideas of not only this country as euphoric welcomed Geneva initiative will remain and the Israeli heartland should be attached - in exchange for the Palestinians to answering Israeli land near the Gaza Strip and the southern West Bank. The fact that this exchange was not until today, is because that the Palestinians have torpedoed any peace negotiations, and again on the terrorist attack - if necessary in very last moment.

This will now also be rewarded - by a German customs authority (with the approval of the government) and is likely to also by the European Court of Justice. If it were not so terribly helpless, you would have to be smooth inclined to answer "do not buy from Jews from the settlements" to this call with a massive purchase of equipment by Soda Club soda and mineral water to renounce entirely European origin. In any event's needs is a glass of wine by the Israeli Yarden Golan to calm the nerves. Le chaim!
