#StopSettlements #StopComercioComColonatos
A UE opõe-se à anexação e considera os colonatos ilegais nos territórios ocupados como um obstáculo à paz e estabilidade internacionais. Mas ainda que os colonatos ilegais constituam um crime de guerra, a UE permite o comércio com eles. Esse comércio permite tirar lucros da anexação e contribui para a expansão dos colonatos ilegais em todo o mundo. Apelamos a uma lei da UE que acabe de uma vez por todas com o comércio com os colonatos ilegais. Esta lei aplicar-se-á a territórios ocupados em qualquer lugar, entre eles o Território Palestino Ocupado e os colonatos ilegais de Israel. A lei enviará também um poderoso sinal para todo o mundo de que a UE não mais recompensará a agressão territorial com comércio e lucros.

Does this initiative call for the stopping of all trade with occupied territories?
No. This ECI calls for an end to all trade that benefits the occupant’s illegal settlements. It does not call for a trade prohibition with occupied territories since this would disallow fair trade with the peoples whose territories are being annexed or occupied.
Why does the European Commission have to stop trading with illegal settlements?
Settlements that are created and expanded by an occupying force in occupied territories violate the highest norms of international law. When occupied territory is annexed de jure or de facto, for example by means of settlements, this is against international law, and such an annexation and settlements have no legal validity. As a result, trade with such settlements is illegal.
I am a national of one EU member state but living in another EU member state. In which member state do I sign?
In the case of the online signature:
- In the “please select country” box write your nationality the widget will be configured to ask you the specific requirements for that nationality (whatever the country you live in is: Address, ID, etc…).
- In the “nationality” box, put your nationality again
- In most cases, you will have to fill in your address. There you choose the EU country you live in
- Print the signature form of the country you are a national from: Here you can find the signature forms to print.
- Fill in your personal data
- Sent it back to the address written on the signature form
- Fill in the form for Estonia, providing his/her full first names, family names, address, date and place of birth and nationality – in this case, his/her signature will be verified and therefore counted in Estonia.
- Fill in the form for Austria, providing in addition to the above data a personal identification document number from the list accepted by Austria – in this case, his/her signature will be verified and therefore counted in Austria.
Why didn’t I receive a confirmation e-mail when I signed the ECI?
Your data will of course be transmitted securely and encrypted. All data collected -when signing the ECI in “Step 2” – with the software certified by the European Commission (OpenECI) goes directly to a secure server. It will not be sent to us and for this reason it is not possible to send you a confirmation of your participation. Only the competent national authorities can inspect the votes for random verification of their validity. This is necessary because an ECI is an official EU instrument. Your personal data will be permanently deleted after official verification by the national authorities.
Why do I have to provide this specific information?
The #StopSettlements campaign does not take the decision over what data is required for the signing of a European Citizens’ Initiative by the member states. The respective EU member states determine themsleves which data must be collected, so that the signatures are valid and counted. For this reason, in an ECI it is necessary to give more personal data than you are used to from other “petitions”. However, all data collected ny signing the #StopSettlements ECI will not be passed on to us – instead, it is forwarded directly to a secure server located in Germany, using a specially certified software (OpenECI), so that the responsible national authorities can verify the validity of your vote. This is necessary because an ECI is an official EU instrument, so whether the signatures actually come from citizens of an EU member state has to be checked. Your personal data will be permanently deleted after official verification by the national authorities. We would be pleased if you could sign this Citizens’ Initiative on the basis of these explanations. Only then you will have signed the ECI and your signature can be counted.
How is a European Citizens’ Initiative different from a regular petition?
A European Citizens’ Initiative is different from a “normal” petition: it is an official democratic instrument that enables EU citizens to help shape Europe by asking the European Commission to propose a legislative act. If we manage to collect one million (validated) signatures, the EU Commission will be legally obliged to deal with our demands.
