A number of Norwegian municipalities and counties have recent years adopted boycott of goods and services from Israeli settlements. Infinitum News has explained – for example, Ibrev to Osloogviken, that such boycott will be a breach of both Norwegian and European law on public procurement. Already when Trondheim was first out with an adoption in November 2016, Infinitum News states that the adoption was notably and discriminatory.

In a new statement – read more here when the lawyers at the municipal administration in Copenhagen forward to the same conclusion.
Here’s their main conclusions:

Foreign policy is a state task. A municipality can therefore not interfere in and / or use its financial resources for the purpose of foreign policy.

A municipality cannot, without particular legal boycotting goods, products and companies from another country of foreign policy reasons.

Danish Tender Act provides municipalities access to require the supplier’s overall suitability and / or to the supplier’s concrete execution of applicable contract, but not to boycott on a political basis. “It is therefore under the tenderer not possible to set up a general fitness that the company does not have production in illegal Israeli settlements,” writes the municipality’s lawyers. “The requirement for equal treatment excludes discrimination against suppliers alone in the light of the origin of a product from a particular country or territory.”

A boycott of Israeli settlements is contrary to EU rules. “In addition, such a general boycott must be assumed to be contrary to general principles,” writes Copenhagen lawyers. In 2018, Denmark’s then Foreign Minister said that a ban on establishment of settlements “alone could be implemented – in the judicial and practical sense – jointly in the EU”.

The setting from the municipal administration will be processed at the Economic Committee meeting March 16 – Read more here. The Administration recommends that the opinion be taken into account and that Boycott proposals (previously traveled in 2015) are placed in the grave.

In Norway, the state’s shopping center recently completed an “Acquisition Juridic Assessment» . Also, their conclusion votes with MIFF Legal assessment: A public purchaser has “neither the right nor duty to reject” companies with activity in Israeli settlements.

Aarhus: boycott will be illegal:

In August 2017, the city council in Aarhus decreased to refuse proposals on boycott of Israeli settlements. “The municipality […] cannot without special legal boycott goods from another country or area. Since such a legal document is not available, the municipality must act within the procurement rules. It is the assessment that it is hardly compatible with the procurement rules to implement a decision that the municipality does not in general buy goods produced in illegal Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories, “wrote Aarhus Municipality, according to Copenhagen Municipality’s annex.

In 2011, the law firm facilitated, on behalf of the City of Copenhagen, that “a municipality not without special laws can boycott goods, products and businesses from another country or area.
