The Rt. Hon. The Baroness Ashton of Upholland
High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
European Union
Dear Lady Ashton
We wrote to you on Wednesday 11 September about reports that you were minded to
soften or postpone the implementation of the EU Guidelines on Israeli Settlements. Our
message enclosed a petition signed by over 500 academics, the great majority from
Europe, urging you not to do so.
Our petition (attached) has now grown by a further 268 signatures with representation
from half the member states of the EU. The new signatures are now attached to the copy
of the petition. In addition you will have received similar messages from 600 Israeli
academics and from the very experienced and distinguished members of the European
Eminent Persons Group, each one submitted in an extraordinarily short time.
We, our signatories, and the far larger number of others whom our petition could not
reach in the time available urge you not to weaken or abandon the Guidelines at the first
sign that Israel, or the United States, is unhappy with them. Principles are principles.
Please stick to yours.

Dear Catherine Ashton
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,
(European academics, scholars or researchers)
