Damascus: The European Union (EU) diplomats on Friday said that they are all set to slap new sanctions on Syria, imposing an assets’ freeze and visa ban on two firms and three people, media reported on Friday.
According to reports the diplomats said that the measures targeting “mainly sources of revenue for the regime” would be decided at talks between EU foreign ministers next Monday.
“There is an agreement in principle” between ambassadors of the 27-nation bloc on a 15th round of sanctions against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
The last round, agreed only last month, targeted the high-end lifestyle of the Assad couple and regime supporters.
“The EU will continue its policy of imposing additional measures targeting the regime … as long as repression continues,” ministers said at the time in a statement.
