Syria affirmed that the agreement of the European Council and the European Parliament to adopt the so-called “anti-coercion tool” in the field of trade once again highlights the flagrant double standards adopted by the European Union.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said in a statement today, a copy of which SANA received: The Syrian Arab Republic expresses its astonishment at the agreement of the European Council and the European Parliament to adopt the so-called “anti-coercion tool” in the field of trade, as the European Union punishes countries that allegedly impose coercive measures on other countries. , while he himself imposes illegal coercive measures on a number of developing countries, including Syria, which has caused the suffering of millions of civilians, and obstructed the efforts of the targeted countries to meet the needs of their people and achieve the goals of sustainable development, well-being and prosperity.
The ministry added: This position unequivocally highlights the flagrant double standards adopted by the European Union.
The Ministry concluded its statement by saying: The Syrian Arab Republic calls on the European Union to adopt a policy that is more balanced and consistent with the principles of international law, United Nations resolutions and human rights instruments, and the immediate, complete and unconditional lifting of illegal unilateral coercive measures, and the cessation of collective punishment policies against the peoples of the targeted countries.
