Brussels, 2 October 2003

Javier Solana,

EU High Representative for CFSP,

expresses concern about Israel's decision to continue building

the separation fence in the West Bank

Javier Solana, European Union High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy, expressed concern about the recent decision by the Israeli Government to continue building the separation fence in the West Bank.

In reply to questions in the margins of political contacts in Warsaw, Poland, today, he noted that "taking this decision was not appropriate. I do not think we can accept a wall that creates decisions on the ground about land that has not been divided."
