Total bilateral trade in goods and services between the EU and Israel is around €70 billion per year.
In terms of direct trade revenue (exports):
Goods: The EU exports about €28 billion worth of goods to Israel annually (mainly machinery, transport equipment, and chemicals) while importing around €15.3 billion, giving the EU a trade surplus in goods of roughly €12.7 billion.
Services: The EU exports approximately €16 billion in services annually to Israel while importing about €10.6 billion, generating a service trade surplus of €5.4 billion.
Overall, the EU maintains a total trade surplus with Israel of about €18 billion each year.
Why would the EU want to criticise this happy arrangement?
"Requiem for America on the Fourth of July"
Neoliberalism or "cutthroat capitalism is the poison that destroyed our democracy."
"It gave the billionaire class & corporations the ideological cover to impoverish the working class, impose crippling austerity, hollow out democratic institutions, buy off our two ruling political parties & deform our courts into appendages of corporations & the rich."
