Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what progress he has made in carrying over the existing EU trade agreement with Syria.
This question was answered on 27th June 2019
Since 2012, the UK Government has suspended any engagement with the Syrian regime and closed the British Embassy in Damascus. Additionally, the EU-Syria Cooperation Agreement is currently suspended, including the chapters on trade in crude oil, petroleum products, gold, precious metals and diamonds. The Department for International Trade has no plans to transition this agreement over at this time.
