Joint efforts to lift sanctions: The European Union is seeking to lift sanctions on Syria.

The European Union is considering partially suspending sanctions imposed on the energy sector in Syria, lifting the ban on importing Syrian crude oil and exporting oil and gas technology, removing Syrian banks from the sanctions list, and easing restrictions on the Syrian central bank.
European efforts continue to assist Syria in its recovery, reflecting an improvement in mutual interests.
There are still widespread Syrian and international demands to lift sanctions on Syria, which impact the Syrian economy and improve living conditions for the Syrian people.
