Damascus, SANA- Syria affirmed that European Union Council and Parliament agreement to adopt so-called \u201canti-coercion tool\u201d in the field of trade revealed the flagrant double standards adopted by this Union, according to a statement by Foreign and Expatrietes Ministry on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cSyria is astonished of such an aggreement adopted by the Union, as the EU punishes countries it alleges that they impose coercive measures on other countries, while the Union itself imposes illegal coercive measures on numerous developing countries, including Syria.\u201d The Ministry said .<\/p>\n
These measures 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\u201d the Ministry added.<\/p>\n
The statement read that this stance unequivocally reveals the blatant double standards adopted by the European Union.<\/p>\n
Syria calls on European Union to adopt a policy that is more balanced and consistent with the principles of international law, UN resolutions and human rights instruments, along with 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, the Ministry concluded.<\/p>\n
