EU to Ban Israeli Dairy Products from over the Pre-1967 Lines as of January


(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - On Tuesday, Israel's Agriculture Ministry informed dairies across the country that the EU will no longer accept dairy exports from Israeli communities in the West Bank beginning in January. The European Commission no longer recognizes the authority of inspection agencies over the pre-1967 lines, and without such an inspection, dairy products from those areas cannot be sold in the EU.
