The resolution welcomes the stabilisation of Syria and stresses that the return of Syrian refugees from the EU is essential for reconstruction. It calls on EU institutions and Member States to support immediate repatriation and rejects EU funding for Syria's reconstruction.

Key points

  1. Welcomes the stabilisation of Syria and the restoration of order following years of conflict.
  2. Emphasises that the return of Syrian refugees from the EU is a fundamental prerequisite for Syria's reconstruction and regional sustainability.
  3. Calls on EU institutions and Member States to actively support efforts for the immediate repatriation of Syrian citizens.
  4. Stresses that Member States have no moral or financial obligation to support the Syrian population, as taxpayers' resources should address EU challenges.
  5. Rejects any future EU plan committing Member States to fund Syria's reconstruction, emphasising that responsibility must shift to those who benefited from EU hospitality.
