Denmark to Set Rules on Some Israeli Products

Denmark will introduce new labeling guidelines in the next two weeks for Israeli products from Jewish settlements in the Palestinian West Bank. The labeling...will specifically identify imported goods from the Israeli settlements and be mandatory for fruit and vegetable produce, but voluntary for other products where the identification of country of origin isn't demanded by law, the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration said. "The illegal settlements undermine the pursuit of a two-state solution and are thereby a major stumbling block for peace in the Middle East," Danish Foreign Minister Villy Søvndal said...The largest Danish supermarket chain, Dansk Supermarked, has already banned all produce from the settlements.
