European Union foreign ministers have agreed on a roadmap to ease sanctions on Syria, the bloc's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Monday, APA reports citing Reuters.
"While we aim to move fast, the lifting of sanctions can be reversed if wrong steps are taken," Kallas said.
The EU has a range of sanctions in place targeting both individuals and economic sectors in Syria, including a ban on Syrian oil exports and restrictions on access to global financial channels.
Ahead of Monday’s meeting, diplomats from the bloc’s 27 countries recommended taking swift action towards suspending restrictions in sectors such as energy and transport.
Officials will now proceed to work on the technical details of easing sanctions, before a suspension can be legally adopted.
