European Union Lifts Economic Sanctions on Syria to Aid Recovery of War-Torn Country

ai generated text

The European Union (EU) has decided to lift all remaining economic sanctions on Syria, a move that is seen as a gesture of support for the Syrian people. This decision was reached after discussions between EU countries and follows a similar move by the United States, which announced that it would lift its sanctions on Syria last week.

1. It is our assessment that, frankly, the transitional authority, given the challenges they're facing, are maybe weeks – not many months – away from potential collapse and a full-scale civil war of epic proportions, basically the country splitting up.
Kaja Kallas
Reform Party
1. We want to help the Syrian people rebuild a new, inclusive and peaceful Syria.
2. Today, we took the decision to lift our economic sanctions on Syria.
3. There are worries about whether the [Syrian] government is going [in] the right direction. But I think we don't have a choice. We … either give them the possibility to stabilise the country or we don't do that.
4. The EU has always stood by Syrians throughout the last 14 years – and will keep doing so.
Johann Wadephul
Christian Democratic Union
1. The European Union wants to make a fresh start with Syria … but we also expect an inclusive policy within the country that includes all population groups and religious groups.
2. It is important to us that a united Syria can thus take its future into its own hands.
