adminEU extends sanctions
Zvamaida Murwira Senior Reporter
THE European Union yesterday extended the illegal sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe by another year saying it will consider reviewing the embargoes after the country holds a referendum on the envisaged new constitution.
The Council of Ministers of the EU met in Brussels yesterday and resolved to extend the illegal embargoes.
In a statement, the EU said in line with its “incremental approach,” it would adjust its policy to recognise progress made by Harare along with the Sadc roadmap.
“The EU agrees that a peaceful and credible constitutional referendum would represent an important milestone in the preparation of democratic elections that would justify a suspension of the majority of all EU targeted restrictive measures against individuals and entities,” reads the statement by the Foreign Affairs
Council after its meeting in Brussels.
Addressing journalists in Harare yesterday, EU representative to Zimbabwe, Mr Aldo Dell’ Ariccia, said the bloc was encouraged by progress made by the parties to the GPA.
