The European Union has chosen to ignore US sanctions on Syria, and an EU economic delegation is scheduled to travel to Beirut and Damascus next week, reported IBA news Wednesday.
President George Bush approved sanctions due to Syria's continued aspiration to develop weapons of mass destruction, its support for terrorism, its enabling militants to cross its border into Iraq, and its continued occupation of Lebanon.
The EU delegation will include officials responsible for energy and transport, and its declared objective is to deepen EU Syria cooperation.
British prime minister Tony Blair, however, said Britain was partner to the US anxiousness over Syrian intent to develop nuclear weapons and its support for terror.
