Europe is keen to help the reconstruction of the war-ravaged country and build bridges with its new leadership after the end of the Assad family’s five-decade rule.
The 27-nation EU imposed wide-ranging sanctions on the government of Assad and broad swathes of Syria’s economy during its civil war.
Officials said any easing of sanctions would be “reversible” as the EU seeks to keep leverage on Syria’s leaders to follow through on promises for an inclusive transition.
But the diplomat said there was still no agreement on lifting sanctions on the banking sector over worries by some states about potential “terrorist financing”.
“But at the same time, there are a lot of uncertainties on the governance of Syria.”
Diplomats said there was still no discussion about lifting those designations, as with others on the Assad regime.
The transitional government in Damascus has been lobbying to have sanctions lifted by the international community as it seeks to rebuild the shattered country.
