<p>We keep our Syria sanctions under regular review and actively seek to minimise
their impact on ordinary Syrians, engaging regularly with non-governmental organisations
to understand the practical impact of the sanctions on the population. Exemptions
and licences already apply to the sanctions regime in order to minimise any detrimental
effects on ordinary Syrians. The sanctions are aimed at ending the violent repression
of the civilian population in Syria by the Assad regime and pressing the regime to
engage seriously with the political process.</p>
