Syria in Transition

Jana Hybášková MEP (EPP-ED, (Czech Republic) is co-organising a conference 'Syria in Transition' in the European Parliament. The conference is being organised by the members of the Damascus Declaration. It will take place in room A5E2 of the ASP building on 13 May at 10.00-16.30 hours.

The conference will consider the current situation in Syria, the National Council of the Damascus Declaration and the Implications for EU Policy - whether to engage or confront Syria.

Syria is one of key countries of the Middle East. As such, it is an inevitable part of the process which will lead to peace, stability and democracy in the region. Syria is also an important country for the Barcelona Process: Union for the Mediterranean and European neighbourhood policy in general.

The conference follows an EPP-ED Public Hearing EU-Syria relations: What Future for the Association Agreement?" organised in 2007.
