"In the light of the ongoing deterioration in the situation in Syria, efforts by the EU are continuing to increase pressure on Assad’s regime and to attempt to restart diplomatic initiatives, in concert with the Arab League, following the veto in the Security Council. The EU has been asserting since 18 August that Assad has lost all legitimacy and must step aside, a position which has been reasserted several times by us, the Members of the European Parliament. The list of individuals subject to restrictive measures was extended by the Foreign Affairs Council in November, and then again on 23 January (which now includes 108 individuals and 38 bodies), in parallel with the suspension of European Investment Bank loans to Syria. Sanctions were imposed in September within the oil sector and on investments, and were reinforced on 1 December, to which measures relating to telephone and Internet interception equipment have also been added. A further extension of the EU’s package of sanctions is currently being examined, the impact of which on the civilian population must be minimised. Our hope is that the many acts of repression will finally lead to the rediscovery of democracy in the country."@en1
