The matter has been raised with the Israeli authorities in our European Union Presidency capacity. We have asked for clarification of the legal basis for the new procedures and identification of the issuing and enforcing authority. The practical effects of the new ruling are being closely monitored and will, as necessary, be the subject of further contacts with the Israeli authorities.
