Cooperation and Economic Relations

The Economic Annex of the Gaza-Jericho Agreement, with its appendices, has been incorporated into the Interim Agreement, with minor amendations, and its provisions, including the establishment of a single economic unit for the purpose of customs and import policy, now apply to the whole of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

In addition, an entire annex of the agreement deals with cooperation between Israel and the Palestinian Council. The parties are committed to cooperation programs involving officials, institutions and the private sector in various fields, such as economics, science, culture and society. A standing committee will be established to foster such cooperation.
