00:00So, I just wanted to say the EU has lifted a wide range of sanctions imposed on Syria,
00:07including on its financial system.
00:09What does this mean for Syria as the country looks to rebuild itself?
00:16First of all, let me say thank you for having me.
00:20What we're witnessing is a significant policy change from the European side toward a new situation in Syria.
00:28But before even that, there was several indications, several positive vibes,
00:34if we want to compare it with the American approach.
00:38Basically, the country, after this 14 years of struggle and a very damaged infrastructure,
00:46a very poor community, it does require the lift-off sanction for at least to give them a chance to build a better future.
00:56However, the suspension of sanctions for several months won't be enough even.
01:02First of all, there was talk about suspension of the sanctions for like several months.
01:07These sectors are totally damaged.
01:10They need more than several months at least to be active once again.
01:15So, yes, the remove of sanctions is something that is very important.
01:22It can be considered, it is actually considered very significant at this time.
