This regulation removes the Al-Nusrah Front for the People of the Levant (also known as Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham or HTS and listed under 26 different aliases) from the EU sanctions list under Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002. The deletion follows a decision by the UN Security Council Sanctions Committee on 27 February 2026 to delist this entity.
