The European Council has extended asset freezes and travel bans on individuals associated with the former Assad government while simultaneously lifting economic sanctions against Syria, allowing for significant trade activities such as a large shipment of wheat. This shift reflects a commitment to assist in the rebuilding of Syria, which has endured prolonged civil conflict and economic turmoil. EU and US decisions aim to foster Syria's reintegration into the global market and support humanitarian needs, indicating a new phase in international relationships with the country.
The lifting of sanctions is expected to accelerate the reconstruction of Syria's infrastructure and economy.
This decision is simply the right thing to do, at this historic time, for the EU to genuinely support Syria's recovery and a political transition.
