Council Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 of 18 January 2012 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Syria gave effect to Council Decision 2011/782/CFSP of 1 December 2011. Decision 2011/782/CFSP was repealed and replaced by Council Decision 2012/739/CFSP.
On 1 June 2013 Decision 2012/739/CFSP expired.
On 31 May 2013 the Council adopted Decision 2013/255/CFSP concerning restrictive measures against Syria.
Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement Decision 2013/255/CFSP.
The High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the Europan Commission propose to amend Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 accordingly.
