 An EU statement said ministers from the 27-nation bloc had agreed at a meeting to adopt "sanctions against the Syrian regime", the 15th round so far.

"The ceasefire is not being fully implemented," said British Foreign Secretary William Hague. "There continues to be killing, torture, abuse in Syria. So it's very important we keep the pressure on the Assad regime." "We must maintain political pressure," agreed Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn.
