European Parliament
Angelika Werthmann  (NI ),
in writing.
– This joint motion for a resolution is proposed by the major political groups; they harshly judge the Assad regime and what it is doing to the civil society; the resolution calls on the President to abandon power and allow a smooth transition; the text also talks about the EU code of conduct with regard to arms sales, recalling that all exports to this country are banned; finally, the groups take advantage of the resolution to congratulate the High Representative for promoting the creation of a contact group of countries – where Turkey is included – that will help democracy to arrive in Syria.
