(2)On 27 May 2025, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2025/1096note extending the restrictive measures set out in Decision 2013/255/CFSP until 1 June 2026. That Decision also lifted all economic sanctions on Syria with the aim of supporting Syria’s inclusive political transition, as well as its swift economic recovery, reconstruction, and stabilisation, in line with a gradual and reversible approach. However, the Council maintained restrictive measures related to the al-Assad regime in line with its call for accountability as well as restrictive measures based on security grounds. In parallel, the Council introduced additional restrictive measures against human rights violators and those fuelling instability in Syria.
