What is the “EU-Israel Association Agreement”?
Haven’t really understood the details, but it’s about preferred trade, framework for political dialogue and economic cooperation.
Looks to my like something similar to ACTA…?
if the EU gets out of this agreement, than obviously it would have a trade impact and maybe less effect in political dialogue (although I’m not seeing much of it at the moment) and the possibility to impose sanctions on Israel, if they do human rights violations etc
But hard to really grasp it, as I’m no lawyer.
Maybe someone else with some more background, and not only familiar with summaries of it, can jump in and explain it for real
I’d like to know as well, what this is really about and what the consequences would be
Edit: mostly took it from Wikipedia, when it comes to the current cooperations

Please don’t trust my comment and only the sources
Those are just my interpretations and as vague as they are, they’re probably correct - but mostly the devil is in the detailsThis being said, I’m also inclined to sign
No worries, I was going to sign anyway. It’s a signal, even if it doesn’t do much.
