According to a statement issued by the Council of the EU, the decision was in line with the Council conclusions of December 2014 which affirmed that the EU would continue imposing and enforcing sanctions targeting the Syrian government and its supporters "as long as repression continues."
The EU sanctions currently in place include notably an oil embargo, restrictions on certain investments, a freeze of the assets of the Syrian central bank within the EU, export restrictions on equipment and technology that "might be used for internal repression" as well as on equipment and technology for monitoring or interception of internet or telephone communications.
In addition, over 200 people and 70 entities are targeted by a travel ban and an asset freeze "over the violent repression against the civilian population in Syria," the EU said.
The EU said that it remains committed to finding a lasting solution to the conflict in Syria and will further support the International Syria Support Group (ISSG) efforts to strengthen the implementation of the cessation of hostilities in Syria.
