The Norwegian government Sunday decided to label products made in the Israeli-occupied territories to let consumers know they were made in occupied lands.
Israeli-made goods in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights would be included in the new measure and labelled as such, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).
The Norwegian government said in a statement that the “Israel” mark of origin is only suitable for products coming from territories under Israeli control before June 4, 1967, adding that “food coming from areas occupied by Israel must be labelled with the region from which the product comes,” and it must indicate that a certain product is coming from an illegal settlement.
Oslo noted the decision was based on the need to “not mislead consumers due to the lack of labels about the origin of products
