Jerusalem (JPFS) —Dutch-based
Philips Electronics has told the
Jerusalem Post it is providing "not-
made-in-Israel" documentation for
purchasers who refuse to buy goods
manufactured here.
"If [customers] specifically ask for
negative source-of-origin documenta-
tion, we will provide it and we have
done so in the past," said company
spokesman Ben Geerts.

Phillips abides
by boycott.

family planning and school vouchers.
The group is for the first two, against
the last. The Clinton administration is
pushing a $21 billion child care initia-
tive in Congress, and NCJW delegates
will be supporting it during their con-
gressional visits.
The group also will present an award
to Bill Lann Lee, the acting assistant
attorney general for civil rights, whose
permanent appointment was held up by
Senate Republicans. And there will be a
number of panels on "Israel at 50," with
NCJW's traditional emphasis on plural-
ism and women's rights.

Philips Chairman and President
Cornelis Boonstra reportedly said last
month that "it is absurd that this hap-
pened and I'll investigate the issue."
"We do not like it at all, but this is
in line with Dutch government direc-
tives," said Geerts, who added the
company cannot influence national
policy.
However, the suggestion that the
Dutch government enforces the provi-
sion of such certificates was rejected
by a spokeswoman at the Economics
Ministry's foreign relations depart-
ment.
"They are not forbidden from giv-
ing such a document, but they are not
forced to do so," she said. "There are
no directives from this ministry or any
other."
The Philips issue, first revealed by
the Dutch Jewish newspaper Nieuw
Israelietisch WeekbLd, is another sign
of a possible renewal of the Arab boy-
cott of companies doing business with
Israel, according to a senior Foreign
Ministry source.
