Obligations
What this law requires
As of 20 May 2026, apply the amended Annex I to Decision 2013/255/CFSP when conducting EU Syria sanctions screening, reflecting the deletion of seven entity entries and updates to 11 individual entries.
Remove the seven deleted entities from internal EU Syria sanctions screening lists so that restrictive measures under Decision 2013/255/CFSP are no longer applied to those deleted entity entries solely on the basis of Annex I.
Update sanctions-screening records for the 11 amended natural-person entries in Section A of Annex I, including revised identifying information and reasons for listing, before relying on EU Syria sanctions screening results.
Continue applying EU restrictive measures to persons remaining listed in Annex I to Decision 2013/255/CFSP, including updated listed individuals such as Mohammed Hamcho, using the amended identifying details for sanctions matching.
