One year of mobilisation in the framework of the European Citizens’ Initiative #StopTradeWithSettlements and the Made in illegality campaign. More than 20,000 Belgian signatures collected to ban trade relations with illegally colonised territories! On Monday 27 February, we handed over the petition to Minister Pierre-Yves Dermagne. As a reminder, during the presentation of his general policy note last November, the Belgian Minister of Economy announced that he had commissioned a study on the possibility of sanctioning companies that have economic, commercial or financial links with Israeli settlements. We now expect a bill to be tabled in Parliament.
