 　　BRUSSELS, April 22 (Xinhua) -- The European Union (EU) on Monday eased certain sanctions against Syria, including the oil embargo1, so as to help the civilian2 population and support the opposition3 in that country.

　　According to a statement issued by the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Luxembourg, the 27-member bloc4 gave green light to three types of transactions: imports of oil and petroleum5 products, including related finance and insurance; exports of key equipment and technology for the oil and gas industry to Syria, also including related finance and insurance; as well as investments in the Syrian oil industry.
　　The EU requests competent authorities will consult with the Syrian National Coalition6 for Opposition and Revolutionary Forces, before approving any such transaction, and ensure that the transactions do not circumvent7 EU sanctions against Syria, in particular the asset freezes on those associated with the violence in Syria.
　　The EU import ban on Syrian oil and petroleum products was imposed in September 2011.
