Summary

67% Informative

The EU is under pressure to revisit ties with Syrian leader Bashar Assad .

Italy has moved to resume formal ties with Damascus .

The move is aimed at steering European policy in favor of opening up to the Syrian government.

Experts say some sort of reconciliation between the government of Bashar Assad and Brussels appears to be an unpalatable, but inescapable policy shift.

Recent court decisions in EU member countries could strengthen the argument for deporting or at least rejecting certain asylum appeals.

So far Brussels is sticking to its official policy of calling for free and fair elections and a democratic transition of power in Syria .

Landis expects that the bloc will probably wait for a cue from the US to determine if and when it wants to revise its own policy.
