📢 The @ec.europa.eu can propose a ban under Art 207 TFEU. 👉 Member States can request this by simple majority. If it refuses, it can be challenged in court. 🗣️Instead of watching from the sidelines the EU should take action to stop trading with the settlements. 5/5🧵 @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu

000

CIDSE @cidse.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

📢 The Commission still claims a settlement trade ban would need unanimity as a sanction. But the Council's own legal services disagree, confirming it's a trade measure instead. Former trade commissioners, ministers, and legal scholars back this view. 3/5🧵

CIDSE @cidse.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

⚖️ Almost two years since the #ICJ concluded states should "prevent trade and investments" sustaining Israel's illegal occupation. the EU has still not acted. This despite its own treaties requiring compliance with international law in its external actions. 2/5🧵

CIDSE @cidse.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

👉On Monday, the Foreign Affairs Council meeting ended without a decision, referred back to COREPER. Rather than the full proposal many Member States and HRVP @kajakallas.bsky.social have long requested, the @ec.europa.eu presented only an options paper. 1/5🧵

CIDSE @cidse.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

📝CIDSE & EuMEP proposal sets out a fully-developed EU Regulation under Article 207 TFEU to end trade with illegal Israeli settlements, addressing everything from rules of origin to enforcement. What's needed now is the decision to act. 2/2 🧵

100

CIDSE @cidse.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

4/5 The proposal is based on extensive legal and technical research conducted jointly by EuMEP and CIDSE, with input from European trade and constitutional lawyers, EU specialised law firms, customs experts, and former and current EC officials 🧵

CIDSE @cidse.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

3/5 it proposes a trade measure under the common commercial policy (Art 207 TFEU) that would align the EU’s trade policy with international law. 🧵

100

CIDSE @cidse.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

2/5 It's grounded in the EU’s obligations under international law, in particular the 2024 ICJ advisory opinion, which requires states to prevent trade that sustains Israel's illegal situation in the occupied Palestinian territory, built on extensive legal, technical and consultative research. 🧵

Israel currently compensates settlement businesses for the tariff gap on EU exports which means the EU's existing "differentiation policy" isn't actually working. No more excuses. Prohibit the trade. 🔗 buff.ly/eLnKhA8
