The reconstruction of Syria is hampered by the European Union's sanctions, which could be lifted, the French Foreign Minister said on Wednesday.

The United States on Monday announced a sanctions exemption for transactions with government entities in Syria for six months after the end of Bashar al-Assad's rule. This is necessary to try to facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid.

Speaking to Radio France, Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said that the EU may also make a similar decision soon. The official did not specify the exact timeframe, but added that the lifting of additional political sanctions would depend on how the new Syrian leadership handles the transition and ensures exclusivity.

There are other (sanctions) that are currently impeding access to humanitarian aid, which is hindering the country's recovery. They can be lifted quickly

- Barrot said.

On Friday, the head of French diplomacy, along with the German Foreign Minister, met with the de facto leader of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa.
