On 18 January 2012 the Council adopted Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 with a view to giving effect to most of the measures provided for in Council Decision 2011/782/CFSP.

The Council has decided to provide for one additional measure related to the obligation of Member States to inspect the cargo of vessels and aircraft bound for Syria if it is suspected that the cargo contain items the export of which is prohibited or subject to authorisation.

The Council also reached political agreement on a derogation from the asset freeze of the Central Bank of Syria to provide funds for Syrian students.

The High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission propose to amend Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 accordingly.
