Crypto Briefing
The European Council has fully reinstated the EU-Syria Cooperation Agreement, ending 14 years of restricted trade relations following the fall of the al-Assad regime.Summary
The European Council has officially restored full trade ties with Syria, lifting the partial suspension of the EU-Syria Cooperation Agreement that had been in place since 2011. This decision marks a significant shift in diplomatic relations following the removal of Bashar al-Assad from power in December 2024. By reinstating these provisions, the EU aims to support Syria's post-war economic recovery and facilitate the country's reintegration into the international economic system. The move follows the lifting of most economic sanctions in 2025 and the initiation of high-level political dialogues between Brussels and the new Syrian government.
