The Council of the European Union adopted Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1937 which amends restrictive measures against Syria.

The move amendment follows a July 9, 2025, ruling by the EU General Court in Case T-437/23, which annulled sanctions against Hala Tarif Almaghout.

As a result, the EU removed Almaghout from Annex II, which lists individuals and entities subject to EU asset freezes and travel restrictions. The court’s judgment compelled the EU to update the regime to comply with due process requirements.
