The European Union has decided to pursue a series of steps which may undermine Israel's control of Area C in the West Bank. In an official document, it harshly criticizes Israel's policies in the West Bank, claiming they have caused the Palestinian population in Area C to shrink significantly and recede into enclaves. The document states that Europe will support road, water, infrastructure, municipal, educational and medical projects in the area. Area C makes up 62% of the West Bank, but the Palestinians make up only 5.8% of its population. The Oslo Accords divided the West Bank into three areas of control: Area A which is under the Palestinian Authority's full control; Area B, which is under Palestinian civil controls and shared Israeli-Palestinian security control; and Area C, which is controlled by Israel.
