The European Union will soon decide on labeling rules to inform consumers if imported Israeli products come from Jewish settlements in occupied Palestinian territories, the EU's top diplomat said on Saturday.

The European Commission has to decide how to extend these guidelines to all the 28 countries of the bloc.
