EU agrees to restore fuller trade ties with Syria

The European Council said on Monday it had ‌adopted a decision terminating the partial suspension of the cooperation agreement between the European Economic ⁠Community and the Syrian Arab Republic, thereby restoring fuller trade ties with Syria.

It said the move marked an important step towards strengthening bilateral ‌relations ⁠between the European Union and Syria.

The decision "sends a clear political signal of ⁠the EU’s commitment to re-engage with Syria and support ⁠its economic recovery," the European Council added ⁠in a statement.
