The sanctions were raised by Bashar al-Assad, which was overthrown in December.
The countries of the European Union have given the abolition of economic sanctions against Syria a green light in order to help the country torn by the war after the fall of Bashar al-Assad, according to diplomats that speak to news agencies.
Ambassadors from the 27 Member States of the EU have made a preliminary agreement on the move, which was to be officially presented on Tuesday by the State Minister meeting in Brussels on Tuesday, said diplomats, and found that the final decision lies with the ministers.
This is followed by an announcement by the United States last week that it increases sanctions against Damascus.
Al Jazeeras Hashem Ahelfarra reported from the EU headquarters and described the reported agreement to raise sanctions as “really important” development.
“Above all, it is recognition that the EU recognizes the authority active in Syria and that there must be more financial transactions in order to pave the way for the creation of financial stability and to improve people in Syria,” he said.
The sanctions were raised during Al-Assad’s rule in 2012 and 2013 and concern the transport, the energy and the banking sector, said Ahelfarra.
The new leadership of the country has asked the West to facilitate the restrictions to help Syria recover from years of despotic rule and civil war.
The EU diplomat informed the AFP news agency that the agreement should reduce the Syrian banks, which Syrian banks cut off the global system and to freeze the central bank’s assets.
However, diplomats said that the block intended to impose new individual sanctions against those who are responsible for the stirring ethnic tensions after fatal attacks on the alawite minority.
Other measures aimed at the Al Assad regime and prohibit the sale of weapons or equipment that could be used to suppress the civilian population should remain on the spot.
The latest change of the EU takes place in February after its first step and uses some sanctions against important economic sectors of the Syrian economy.
Officials said these measures could be resumed if the new leaders of Syria promise to respect the rights of minorities and move towards democracy.
