The European Union said it will be ready to assist in the reconstruction of Syria only when a comprehensive, genuine and inclusive political transition is firmly under way.

It recalled that a sustainable solution to the conflict requires a genuine, inclusive political transition in line with UN Security Council Resolution 2254 and the 2012 Geneva communique negotiated by the Syrian parties within the UN-led Geneva process, with the full, equal and meaningful participation of women.
