THE TIMES OF ISRAEL (http://bit.ly/12QhApW) is reporting that a spokesman for the EU delegation in Israel said on Monday that the labeling movement has “not been delayed,” and that no one, including the U.S., has approached them asking for a postponement of its implementation.
The original report said that the EU had agreed to a “conditional” freeze on plans at the request of Kerry, who feared the labeling issue might negatively affect Israeli/Palestinian peace talks, which he successfully reopened in March.
It was reported that the EU agreed to temporarily “freeze” the process contingent on Kerry’s promise that “plans” to move peace talks forward will be delivered by mid-June.
If the EU implements their plan then let them label products from Arab countries with “This product was made in country a majority of whose population believes that all Jews should be murdered.”
