Europe Wants Closer
Ties With Israel
Brussels (JTA) — The 12-
member European Com-
munity is establishing a
closer dialogue with Israel,
aimed at improving rela-
tions and contributing to the
Middle East peace process.
A preliminary step was the
first address by Avi Primor,
Israel's ambassador to
Belgium and the E.C., to the
Parliamentary Association
for Euro-Arab cooperation
here this week. It coincided
with the establishment of an
informal E.C.-Israel
intergroup.
The Euro-Arab group is
part of the Parliament of
Europe, the E.C.'s 518-
member legislative body,
which meets monthly in
Strasbourg, France. The
group met for the first time
with an Israeli envoy.
Although Israel has been
without a government since
March 15, Primor seemed
optimistic that Israeli and
Palestinian delegations
would meet soon in Cairo to
set the terms for elections in
the West Bank and Gaza
Strip.
The elections are part of an
Israeli peace plan presented
a year ago.
Primor said the discussion
would not be an end in itself,
but rather a means to open
dialogue without prejudging
anything that might appear
on a future agenda.
Several members of the
Euro-Arab group "expressed
their concern about the
dramatic rise in immigra-
tion from the Soviet Union,
and underlined the inad-
missibility of settling Soviet
Jews in the occupied ter-
ritories, including East
Jerusalem," according to a
communique the group
issued.
The communique welcom-
ed the creation of an infor-
mal E.C.- Israel intergroup
within the European
Parliament.
It was initiated by Willy de
Clercq, a Belgian Liberal
member of the European
Parliament who is a former
E.C. commissioner in charge
of foreign relations.
"This new group is aimed
at uniting members of the
European Parliament from
all the political groups and
E.C. member states who
want to use their experience
and knowledge to reinforce
relations between Israel and
Europe and contribute to the
search for peace in the Mid-
dle East," Le Clercq said.
"The idea is to create" a
group of European deputies
who do not necessarily agree
with the Israeli govern-
ment's policies but who can
help improve Israel's image
at the European Parliament,
which is far from brilliant."
In January, the Parlia-
ment recommended sanc-
tions against Israel for its
treatment of the Palestin-
ians.
