(ANSA) - BELGRADE, JUN 19 - Belgium and eight other member countries - Spain, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden, Finland, and Ireland - have asked the EU Commission to look into how trade in goods and services linked to illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories can be aligned with international law, according to Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot. "This follows the International Court of Justice's advisory opinion, which states that third countries must refrain from any trade or investment that contributes to the continuation of an illegal situation in the Occupied Territories," explains Prevot.
