EU imposes new sanctions on Syrian regime
None
The European Union on Monday banned the sale of luxury goods and products to Syria that can have military as well as civilian uses, and UN truce monitors started deploying in the conflict-torn nation.
EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton said the EU's 27 foreign ministers approved the new set of sanctions – the 14th in the past year – "because of deep concern about the situation and continuing violence in spite of the ceasefire." (AP)
