EU BRICUP-AURDIP letter to Catherine Ashton final

11 September 2013 The Rt Hon The Baroness Ashton of Upholland High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy European Union Dear Lady Ashton Reports in the media that you are thinking of softening or postponing the implementation of the EU Guidelines on Israeli Settlements have shocked academic opinion across Europe and beyond The Guidelines which you announced in July indicated that the EU would insist upon the application of its long-held position which, to quote your own documents, “[conforms] with international law on the non-recognition by the EU of Israel’s sovereignty over the territories occupied by Israel since 1967,” and that henceforth cooperation with Israel would be “based on respect for human rights and democratic principles” and in particular on respect for international law The promulgation of the Guidelines sent Israel a clear message that its continued occupation of these territories and illegal settlement-building have consequences, and has given it an incentive to think again We, and the nearly five hundred European academics who have signed the attached petition in the last 48 hours, applaud your Guidelines, and urge you not to weaken or abandon them at the first sign that Israel, or the United States, takes objection to them Principles are principles Please stick to yours (signed) Ivar Ekeland Association des Universitaires pour le Respect du Droit International en Palestine (AURDIP) Jonathan Rosenhead British Committee for the Universities of Palestine (BRICUP) cc José Manuel Barroso, President of the EU Commission Herman Van Rompuy, President of the EU Council Martin Schulz, President of the EU Parliament Please reply to: BRICUP, BM BRICUP, London WC1N3XX email: secretary@bricup.org.uk www.bricup.org.uk Dalia Grybauscaite, President of Lithuania, President of the Council of the European Union European Coordination of Committees and Associations for Palestine 11 September 2013 Dear Catherine Ashton Please reply to: BRICUP, BM BRICUP, London WC1N3XX email: secretary@bricup.org.uk www.bricup.org.uk cc: Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science, Máire Geoghegan-Quinn We are writing to you with regard to the guidelines published recently by the EU on the eligibility of Israeli bodies for EU financial support which are designed to prevent projects in illegal Israeli settlements from receiving funding from the European Research Council and the forthcoming Horizon 2020 EU research funding programme The guidelines were widely welcomed by researchers and citizens who had been deeply concerned that the EU was encouraging and funding collaboration between European universities and Israeli companies such as Ahava that operate in illegal Israeli settlements Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territory are illegal under international law and their continued existence and expansion lead to severe violations of the human rights of Palestinians We understand that negotiations on Israel’s participation in the Horizon 2020 program will begin on Thursday, and we have read that you hope to find ways to implement the new guidelines "sensitively" We have also read that US Secretary of State John Kerry is pressuring the EU to repeal the new guidelines As academic researchers, many of whom have been in receipt of EU research funding, we call upon the EU to implement its new guidelines in full and to ensure that projects, companies and institutions located in illegal Israeli settlements are not eligible for EU research funding Yours sincerely, Professor A Kupiainen,
