Of the 26 consignments examined between the end of July and end of September 2008 one consignment was identified as originating in a settlement—the Jordan Valley. The import/export company and the UK retailer cannot be named for reasons of commercial confidentiality.
Commercial confidentiality makes it inappropriate to provide this information for an individual supplier.
The information requested is not available. However, the number of consignments identified as originating in an Israeli settlement in the last three years were as follows:
1 February to 31 January each year Number 2005-06 128 2006-07 127 2007-08 214
No information is available on how many of the consignments entering the UK from Israel and the Occupied Territories in each of the last three years originated in Israeli settlements, or on the number that were labelled as originating in settlements. Records are available only on imports that are identified as incorrectly claiming Israeli origin.
