Ministers Take Action On Syrian Oil Exports

THE European Union decided to impose sanctions on Syrian oil exports yesterday, piling more pressure on President Bashar al-Assad.

The decision was made in Sopot, Poland, where EU foreign ministers met to set out their response to Assad's crackdown on five months of protests at his rule.

"President Assad is carrying out massacres in his own country," Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said. "The whole international community is urging him to relinquish power."
