EU Agrees to New Financial Sanctions on Syria
(Reuters) EU governments agreed on Monday to impose additional financial sanctions on Syria, an EU diplomat said. The EU will add 12 persons and at least 11 more institutions and companies to a list of those targeted by EU asset freezes and travel bans and ban financial support for trade and loans to the government. The new measures, to be approved formally by EU foreign ministers on Thursday, will include a ban on exporting equipment for the Syrian oil and gas industry.
