For prohibited services, the text provides for one year of imprisonment and a fine of up to 5% of annual worldwide turnover.
On Monday, lawmakers adopted in committee a bill aimed at banning the import of products from Israeli settlements as well as services that contribute to settlement activity.
It also targets services, particularly financial ones, that contribute to the development or maintenance of these settlements. The rental of apartments to tourists is among the examples cited.
The bill bans the import, purchase and marketing of goods originating from Israeli settlements, described as illegal under international law, in the territories occupied by Israel.
The implementing arrangements, however, remain partly to be specified by decrees, in particular the due-diligence obligations imposed on service providers.
Adoption in committee does not prejudge the outcome of the vote in plenary session. The issue divides lawmakers and has already prompted numerous clashes at the preliminary stage of the review.
Israel, however, accounts for only a small share of French purchases abroad: 0.2% of goods imports in 2024, according to the French Treasury.
