EU and U.K. gave PA $25 million to buy advice
Britain and other European Union states gave the Palestinians more than 20 million euros to pay for legal and information consultation, the European Institute for Research on the Middle East reports.

Britain, Sweden, Denmark, Holland and Norway paid the funds to the PLO negotiations aid department (NAD) and negotiations support unit (NSU), which in recent months have been busy mustering international support for the hearing on the separation fence in the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

The institute had asked several states for details of the aid they gave the PA for information consultancy. The institute's research editor, Dr. Nick Lambert, told Haaretz: "Various states piled obstacles in our path and some refused to cooperate, although they claim a policy of transparency."
