Here in Israel customs tax on TVs are very high, on computer equipment
they are much lower.  A monitor with a composite video input is considered
a TV set for tax purposes.  So the importer of the Amiga monitor simply
disconnected the video jack.  When using the monitor only with the Amiga
connected via the RGB cable, you'll never notice this.

Thanks to everybody who tried to help and in particular to Thomas@HUJIDS
who solved the riddle.
