According to Reuters, the EU said the 12 ministers appointed by Assad in a cabinet reshuffle in August, shared “responsibility for the regime’s violent repression against the civilian population”.

In addition, according to a press release issued by the Council of the European Union, the Council reached a political agreement on imposing an export ban on jet fuel and relevant additives being exported to Syria, which are used for indiscriminate air attacks against civilians.
